Well the existence of Jesus works as a start. What solid evidence is there to say he exists? We don't have a body since IIRC that went with him when he went to Heaven. We don't have any sort of forensic evidence as I believe any sort of relic believed to have any sliver of dna from him on is locked away in temples or churches and not allowed to be seen by anyone but the highest ranks of those areas.

So we don't have physical shit to analyse. We have the bibl... pfft, sorry. Can't say that with a straight face due to the sheer amount of different versions and translations and text itself being a ridiculously biased source. So do we have relatively unbiased historical evidence that we can gurantee is referencing Jesus Christ in even the most mundane of ways just so we can establish an existence.

Do you want to look that up and try finding that kinda shit or should I?

As for the miracle of the sun, I presume the combination of factors such as actual astrological phenomena perhaps making a different source of light, optical illusion depending on general part of the large area you were standing, faith enough to get many people up there tricking them into seeing something which if enough people do has the effect of power of suggestion on others, staring at the sun too long having an impact on their perception but not necessarily lasting damage, looking away at the crowd occasionally like the kid in the linked book who was interviewed did minimising chance of lasting damage, etc. Combination of factors could've caused it mate.
