    There’s a sci-fi book series called Hyperion where one of the main fucuses of the far-future theocratic government is to search for signs and symbolism of Jesus on other planets. Since if you find an alien species worshipping Jesus or using cross symbolism, you’ve all but proven that God exists.

      You will prove that one god exists?

      Or even less, you will prove that someone with god-like powers exists?

      Or even less, you will prove tat we live in a simulation written by some christian sect.

        If all successful civilizations believe in something isomorphic to the Pythagorean theorem, then this is evidence that it’s real.

        God works the same way.

          To be exact, it was a few centuries later that people told that about him, before it was written down.

            No, it was a matter of decades. And even then, most facts about historical figures from then are written down centuries later.
