Who would win, I wonder in an evidence showdown? Bigfoot or Jesus?

C'mon, that's a rather easy question to answer.

Has anybody yet written a book about the life and times of Bigfoot?

In His book, Jesus is described in detail, his words are recorded, his actions reported.

And, historically, we know that numerous people and places listed in His book did, in fact, exist -- precisely as they were described. The history and geography are accurate.

Is there any undeniable physical evidence of His existence? Depends on what you make of certain relics -- such as the Shroud of Turin.

You may insist on regarding the Bible as "circumstantial evidence", but it is compelling circumstantial evidence, nonetheless.

I thought the Shroud of Turn was debunked when its Carbon-14 date of manufacture was put at about 1200CE, a classic time for pious frauds.

I suppose you can pin your hopes on the Veil of Veronica (putatively a cloth on which Jesus wiped his face and left a magical image).

However the presence of the Turin Shroud in Lirey, France, is only undoubtedly attested in 1390 when Bishop Pierre d’Arcis wrote a memorandum to Antipope Clement VII, stating that the shroud was a forgery and that the artist had confessed.

I suppose you can pin your hopes on the Veil of Veronica (putatively a cloth on which Jesus wiped his face and left a magical image).Veronica is from the Latin Verrus and the word “Icon”.
