If he did as just a human doesn't it blow away Christianity as a bid fraud?

If you are a devout Christian then you already think Christ existed as the son of God but as a man so it wouldn't alter your faith
There really isnt anything from that period we could discover that would alter either sides beliefs, I suspect concrete proof of Jesus's existence, a Roman Court record or the like would be seen as proof of Christ as the son of God by the faithful even though it would add nothing to either side of the argument.
I am constantly surprised at how evengelicals try to look for concrete proof for their beliefs despite the bible being clear, you are supposed to believe due to no more than faith, I have a few a facebook friends that post bizarre claims for intelligent design that they insist prove that the world is only 6000 years old, I mean full on creationist gibberish, I try to be mindful of the fact it is their belief and they arent bad people so I am not as scathing as I could be but I do enjoy pointing out to them that even if you could prove intelligent design that doesnt in and of itself prove the existence of God, a fact that really effed one of my friends minds up unfortunatly, he'd never really considered it, got quite angry with me!!
