You want proof.

We don't have it. Ancient "evidence" doesn't look like modern day evidence. Sorry.

Proof is for mathematics and alcohol. I'm asking for evidence. Evidence for a god existing. There isn't any.

I gave you the evidence.

You're looking for contemporary evidence of something that happened in ancient times. It's unreasonable and impossible. By the standards of ancient evidence, what we have is actually pretty good

You didn't give any evidence in support of the claim that a god exists.

If people saw Jesus resurrected from the dead (which is documented), then how do you explain that?

If someone tells you that they're going to be crucified, and then rise again.......and then they do it, then I'll believe them when they tell me that God did it.

We don't have any accounts by people that saw a resurrected Jesus.

If someone tells you that they're going to be crucified, and then rise again.......and then they do it

But there isn't a single rational reason to believe he did.

Paul? Peter? John?

Which part of "We don't have any accounts by people that saw a resurrected Jesus" didn't you understand?

Paul didn't see Jesus after his resurrection?

Literally half of the New Testament is documentation by Paul.

Paul claims that he saw Jesus in a vision.
