We just don’t have a lot of evidence. Peter’s corpse is not available to us, nor is that of Paul. Forensics are pretty much out, and Roman justice of the time is mostly not documented. How old is the oldest actual scripture document reporting the New Testament? As the distance increases from the time of the events it reports, it is less useful as evidence.

Then all of history is suspect to you, is it not?

Prove George Washington lived and that he is not the product of some scam by forgers to create a pretend George Washington.

Or pick ANY historical figure.

For that matter prove YOU exist and are not some computer program posing as a human being.

I've never met someone in real life named donmeaker. All I see is a screen name and some posts.

Don’t waste your time on this troll. I viewed several of his posts and he is all over the map on everything.

My recommendation is to let editor-surveryor have a crack at him and the troll will go back under the bridge:)

There are original documents that evidence George Washington. Start with his commission from the Continental Congress.

But yes, all of history is suspect. That is why people who love history love to find old shipwrecks to get past the narratives that people added.

One Pharoahs went off and fought a great battle and lost. He then came back and announced that it was a great victory. That right there should make you suspect of history.

Napoleon did the same thing.

That is also why governments do things like take fingerprints, issue biometric drivers licenses, passports, and check the continuing document trail looking for things that are out of place. It is also why the Census counts people, AND makes estimates based on sampling.
