Some of the Evidence

I've studied the Genealogies in scripture.
And they are very, very, very accurate.
Abraham---if you tally up all of the years---
Lived right at the forming of Hammurabi's Code. 
The cult of Aten was founded---and you can do this yourself
I swear---right when Moses lived.

For those who say the Jews didn't exist
Because scholars see evidence of Baal worship
In Canaan---the Bible says that the Jews forgot their religion many times.
The Bible says that Israel worshiped Baal for most of its existence
But the Southern Tribe of Judah stayed for the most part faithful.
We know there was a Southern Tribe because the Tele Dan Stele---
An  Archeological relic---has written on it
Verbatim that Judah had lost a battle, 
And on that stone was written the portmanteau Housedavid
Which this pagan king had won a victory over.
Meaning, Judah was indeed a kingdom.
Yes, the Bible was recompiled in Persia
On its most recent draft---but the Bible 
Claims so when it says several dozen times,
"As it still is to this day."
Meaning the Histories were transcribed
After Cyrus had restored Israel back to Canaan from Babylon.
Cyrus, who was prophesied in Isaiah to be the restorer of Israel's Captivity
Some 200 years beforehand.
I've already established that Israel was a people
Prior to the captivity, so it can only be that the religion 
Was preserved.
It is also recorded that Babylon sacked Jerusalem
In the Nebuchadnezzar Chronicles---
Which is another historical fact.
So, it cannot be claimed like it sometimes is
That Israel or Judah weren't kingdoms prior to Babylonian Captivity.

As for the flood---
Every culture around the world
Has a myth about the global flood.

As for Christ's existence
He most certainly lived.
The Vatican has record of His census
And it has His death certificate
Which the Jews had forged to try and claim Jesus was not the Messiah.
Also, there are references to medical conditions
As yet unknown to the ancient world in the New Testament.
Jesus sweat blood. It's a condition called "hematohidrosis".
And Jesus died of a Heart Attack, because
When He was pierced, water flowed from His wound.
This is consistent with a heart attack
Where the water lining of the internal organs is damaged.
This also could only occur if Christ had truly died.

As for the resurrection,
Men who had personally known Jesus
Were willing to die over the testimony that He raised from the dead;
They were crucified, burnt, impaled,
Stoned, suffered persecution
For the testimony that He had risen from the dead.
Men will not suffer long for a lie.
They just won't.
But, these men suffered and died,
So they must have been eyewitnesses to His resurrection.

As for the record in Genesis,
God is all powerful.
The rest of these facts should overshadow
Any insipid doubt about how God could create the world in six days.
God is God. Meaning He can turn water into wine
Raise the dead, heal the blind, deaf and mute
And that also means alter time and matter.
He changed simple H20 into the magnificently complex chemical composition of wine.
Any doubt to the matter of how God could have created the world
Is a un-imaginative assumption.
God conceived Christ through a Virgin
Which is prophesied in the scripture.

Also, Christ's crucifixion and death are prophesied
In plain terms, in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 2 and 22.
The fact that God was going to change the Law is prophesied in Jeremiah 31.
It's also true that in Deuteronomy, the curses
Over Israel were fully satisfied by the captivity and sacking of Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar;
Which is a matter of historical fact, preserved in the Babylonian scrolls of the Nebuchadnezzar Chronicle.
Isaiah 53 is verbatim in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Meaning it, too, existed prior to Christ.
Meaning the prophet did actually predict Christ.

As for the morality of Christianity
It is proven independently by Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Mozi, Confucius, Lao Tsu, Maimonides,
And many other great sages in history finding aspects of the Christian truth.
It was revealed in part through many religions, which veiled the truth as they mingled with God
Unknowingly, but was fully revealed by God through direct communion with Prophets.

God, to be just, had to reveal His law through His prophets.
So, He first revealed it through Abraham,
Inspiring what academics have called the "Cult of Righteousness"
To then Moses who chiseled them down upon stone
And finally Christ, God Himself, spoke the full revelation of God's Law.
This was so none would be without the knowledge of what is demanded from man by God.
For, if God were good, and seeing it takes geniuses to find even a small portions of moral truth,
God would have to reveal Himself through revelatory visions to men and women
Throughout History to inspire Law.
And He did just that through the Prophets and Moses, and finally through His Son Jesus Christ
And the Apostles.
For, the morality laid down by Christ is quantifiably the best in existence, and it is testable;
It produced the happiest civilization in history,
For as that civilization fell away from its belief in God
It had gotten ever worse, until now it is like the rest of the world.

This is the evidence that God is Jesus.
