Is Christianity based on older myths?

In my opinion, no amount of text can ever be enough evidence to demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that someone is "God". I don't care if everyone in the world wrote about it as it happened and continued to all follow the same religion. It's just not something you can establish with text, or perhaps at all, as we have nothing to test now. Especially since no one has the first clue what a "God" is anyway and wouldn't be able to distinguish it from an imposter.

It's always going to be more likely that people are deluded, lying or making up explanations.

Nothing to test, and we don't know what we'd be testing for. Experiment shut down due to lack of funds and sanity.

OK, here's the thing. Let's pretend that there really was some "being" that did all the stuff in the bible, it said it was "God" and they wrote down what actually happened.

So are we now to define God as whatever that being was? Even if it was a super advanced alien capable if immense acts of time and space manipulation? What else can we define God to be? If it's not as described in the bible, then we're not even testing for the same thing to compare jesus to.

All we could do is try and prove jesus is also the same entity as that being, whatever it was. We have no physical evidence for the being, or for jesus. So it's over. It's impossible to confirm.
