Would they? What is this "more evidence?" It is my understanding that evidence for both is pretty much summed up with religious stories and religious texts. There is no physical evidence for either.
Well firstly, what text are you referring to that supports the existence of Thor?
Quote: Why? What's that got to do with anything? We all know that Thor is a character from Norse Mythology just like Christ is a character from Christian Mythology.
It’s got everything to do with it, if you can’t even provide any ancient texts that support the existence of Thor then that means that Christ’s Resurrection has more evidence because the best preserved book of antiquity, The New Testament, gives account of his death, burial, and resurrection. I am not sure why you would bring Thor into the discussion since it now looks like comparing the two is nothing more than a false analogy.
