Winger argues 1 Kings 18 (Mount Carmel) supports evidential apologetics: Elijah offered a test and the miracle convinced the people Yahweh is God

Elijah's challenge — 'if the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him' — assumes the people genuinely did not know. After fire fell, they 'fell on their faces and said, The LORD, he is God.' This is a real change from uncertainty to conviction, prompted by miraculous evidence. Winger reads this as a straightforward biblical example of evidence changing minds about God's identity.
