To you, they may seem very much the same, and there are places where there is convergence..which again, has a better explanation than "the truth of the godhead" behind it. But we have to interpret things into the text (a massively edited text) to make every religion somehow true. That's just not how it works. The conclusion must fit the observation, not the other way around. Point is, stop assuming I don't have a clue wtf I'm talking about and start showing the vast overarching commonalities. Explain why "godhead" best fits the observations you make.
I will have to get back to you tomorrow. I'm in a cafe and they are closing. till then, it's not about the text it's about the experience. Regardless, they are putting the chairs up and kicking me out.
As to the evidence question, here's another I will leave you with. what evidence is there for a materialistic world being the only reality? that's an extraordinary claim, so the onus of proof is on those who make it.
What do you have to support it?
Till tomorrow.
