First, Christianity is testable in the sense that it can be studied historically. Some verses also of the bible challenges you to study Christianity like 1 Corinthians 15:14-19 " 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope[b] in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. " Second, you will be amazed that the majority of historians today agreed of the 3 facts concerning the resurrection of Christ. The only disagreement among them is how these 3 historical facts better explained. And base on explaining capability the "Resurrection hypothesis" is the best explanation. Thirdly, yes I agree of some historical evidence of other religions although I also suspect that some have inaccurate history. But the overriding point is Christ is unique in the sense that He is the only religious figure that claimed to be the Son of God, perform miracles, said blasphemous claims and claim to be " The only way, truth and the life". These things set apart Jesus Christ from other religious figures. And His claims were vindicated when God raised Him from the dead and His resurrection is historical as supported by the 3 facts. Fourthly, yes those other religions can say that I am wrong but that doesn't affect the truth of my worldview because it is based on the bible. Example JW's will say to me that Jesus is only a saviour and not God so I will get the bible and point out the verse that Jesus is both God and saviour. Fifthly, I am not blind, the truth is I am hurt to see those people. And I will add. Aside from being historically accurate of the Gospels, there are also sources outside of the bible like the writings of Tacitus, Josephus, Lucian of Samosata and others.

Yes it can be called the design argument seeing the creation and it's majesty as evidence of the power and wisdom of it's Cosmic Designer. And this argument is strongly valid as validated by the evidence of the fine-tuning argument of the universe for intelligent life and the teleological arguments like of Paley and others. At first this Creator God can be directly pointed to the God of Monotheistic religions of the world - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. And we have to weigh which religion is more valid historically and scientifically. And I would argue that Christianity is more valid provided that for example it is historically accurate. One dispute of Islam and Christianity is that in Islam, Christ did not died by crucifixion. And when we see the historical records, Jesus died by crucifixion which makes the Koran historically inaccurate.

Yes, they can be. But in the case of Christianity aside from the fact that it is testable and also founded historically, it is unique like what Jesus claims example claiming to be "the only Way, truth and the Life." No other religion claims like that. And also He claimed to be the Son of God which is vindicated by His resurrection. Diversity of Christianity is due to the fact of different doctrines or biblical understanding. As a Christian, I like to focus on the commonality of our beliefs or what C.S. Lewis said " Mere Christianity" that is believing that Jesus is our salvation and Lord. With regards to your second response, I agree that some Christian denominations have wrong understanding of the scripture or they did not practice the teachings of it. Example ( I will not mention the name) is the denomination that uses statues of saints which hurts my heart when they venerate those statues rather than Jesus Himself. What do you mean?

Religions existed almost everywhere in this planet called earth. It's seems that humans are religious in nature. Religions are diverse. A question may arise, WHY? Here, I will provide the biblical explanation of it. Let me offer Romans 1:19-25:" 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. We see here a biblical explanation of religious diversity in the world. Religions other than Christianity is simply a deviation from worship on the True God and transferred the worship into the creature. Any response regarding this is very much appreciated. Thank you.
