Since you're such a stickler for facts 1986, then I guess you would appreciate the presentation of circumstantial evidence. After all, you say evolution is a fact, in spite of the conundrum of irreducible complexity, and even mutation as a challenge to "advancement".
Pierre-Paul Grassé, former president of the French Academy of Sciences writes in Evolution of Living Organisms, Academic Press, New York, 1977, p. 88: "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution."
But I'm not here to debate evolution since I haven't taken the time to study it fully or comprehend the science behind it, I'll leave that to others with more time and (ahem) greater intellect.
However as you seem to think that facts are especially relevant in making the argument for any position debated, I'll present some facts. This taken directly from a book that I read over 25 years ago, Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell:
"The following probabilities are taken from Peter Stoner in Science Speaks (Moody Press, 1963) to show that coincidence is ruled out by the science of probability. Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to eight prophecies, ‘we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 17th the power." That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that "we take 10 to the 17th power silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say that this is the right one. What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man."
Stoner considers 48 prophecies and says, "we find the chance that any one man fulfilled all 48 prophecies to be 1 in 10 to the 157th power, or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 000,000,000."
The estimated number of electrons in the universe is around 10 to the 79th power. It should be quite evident that Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies by accident. He was who He said He was: the only way.
In regards to my first paragraph regarding circumstantial evidence, Jesus Christ was verified as having died on the cross by the Roman soldiers and by those who prepared his body for burial. You can imagine the uproar if the Romans hadn't confirmed his death and then guarded the tomb he was laid in. Taking into account that this was a fact, he was then seen by hundreds of followers after his death and resurrection. The evidence of eyewitness accounts is overwhelming. Even the Arabic translations of the historian Josephus concerning Jesus supports the eyewitness accounts.
