You can tell someone is bullshitting right from the start when they think they can prove things happened - word one of the title.
You can gather good evidence to support the claim, but you can't ever prove it. Proof is for mathematics, not science, certainly not for history and absurd for ancient history.
Using the OPs fallacious methodology, you'd have absolute "proof" that alien abductions happen, which would be overwhelmingly more concrete than this pupported resurrection.
1. Lots of people believe to have seen space aliens
2. Many have dedicated their lives to this belief. Why would they do this if it wasn't true?
3. Alien abductions have been reported in serious newspapers, why would they lie?
4. UFOs have been seen on radar screen.
5. UFO debris has been found.
6. We even know of different types of aliens.
7. The X-files was a documentary, not fiction. (This one may sound stupid, but this is actually totally analogous what we are dealing with in this thread)
etc etc. Mixing up beliefs with evidence, throwing in unsubstantiated evidence with the occasional substantiated evidence, mixing terminologies (UFO with alien)
If historians used this methodology, history lessons at school would be, rather ironically, like watching the History Channel.
