It is not a question of proof, but faith, and it will always be so.
It’s faith, but there’s also proof available to each person.
That Jesus is who he says, resurrected at the right hand of the Father can be know personally by personal salvation and direct conscious contact with God through prayer and communion.
I realize this is not objective evidence. But we have no objective evidence of the taste of chocolate, yet each person who has tasted it knows...

ding ding ding. Religion is based on belief. If you believe it who cares what other people think? The minute you accept the cult of science or history and use their arguments, you cease to be a christian. Your faith isn’t strong enough for you to believe in it a priori.
There's no question this all revolves around faith, but collecting and showing evidence should be persued diligently for the hope that is in each one of us.
We Christians fight a spiritual battle and need to show the world not only in words, but acts and evidence to give people a reason to persue truth!
knowing the truth and chosing to stand with the truth are two different things.
If you believe that Jesus really existed - on earth, in time, in our dimension - and walked alongside human beings; and if you believe he was crucified and resurrected - and that it wasn't all a hallucination - then it stands to reason that there could be evidence that all this happened, just as there can be evidence for anything else that happened in history. We have evidence that Julius Ceasar lived, ruled and conquered. I you believe that Jesus lived - and was resurrected - it is entirely plausible that there can be evidence, historical evidence. And there is.
