Any evidence would indeed be a good start.
I assume this is headed for, "Jesus came back to life" or something. Even if it was established that this happened, it doesn't prove anything else. It doesn't tell us how or why he came back to life, nor whether he is human or something else. His own explanations aren't automatically true any more than a magician gets to say he really did teleport a playing card during a very convincing magic trick (even if the magician told you beforehand that's how he would do it).
Come to think of it, I don't know why people don't worship magicians. They do a lot more impressive stuff than most of the lame "miracles" in the bible. And you can actually see it, rather than just reading about it later.
