Also, proving that a historical man named Jesus existed and was crucified doesn't prove that he was God. Many people were crucified by the Romans. How does any of that prove that Jesus resurrected, much less proving that he was God?
IMO there is no proof for anything. No evidence. If you go that path of relying on evidence, you may shake people's faith as the evidence isnt good and largely non-existent. People believe due to faith alone, there is no other way. Im not sure why, or even if, you think that is a problem.
