Zeus wasn't/isn't a man claiming godlike strength.
Ahura Mazda (zoroastrianism) wasn't/isn't a man claiming godlike strength.
Allah wasn't/isn't a man claiming godlike strength.
Vishnu wasn't/isn't a man claiming godlike strength.
These are all gods.
You cannot prove in an absolute sense that there is only one god and that it coincides with your image of your god. That strictly relies on your faith. Likewise analogous claims from believers of other creed only rely on their faith. Faith itself has no mechanism to resolve competing claims between two or more faiths. Faith cannot even satisfyingly settle any new metaphysical claims on the origin of the universe. Maybe the universe was created by a malicious purple rabbit in the 27th dimension. The 'faith method' cannot debunk this claim, because every religion itself is based on unfalsifiable dogma, i.e. things not to be questioned but to be accepted on faith alone.
