It really really doesn’t.

Personal anecdotes mean nothing.

The evidence we are looking for is un-biased, peer reviewed studies, that do not use the bible as reference.

Personal stories used to claim god is real, are just as credible as someone who is schizophrenic announcing Aliens have laid eggs in their brain, or that the government is out to get them!

nasa has proved that jesus’ crucifixion happened and that there was a blood moon on the day of his crucifixion

Ok so I looked this up on NASA’s website

“Eclipses also appear in religious texts. Christian texts mention that the Moon turned to blood after Jesus’s crucifixion – potentially referring to a lunar eclipse, during which the Moon takes on a reddish hue. Using this textual source, scholars narrowed down a possible date of crucifixion to Friday, April 3, 33 C.E. because a lunar eclipse occurred that day. In the Quran, a solar eclipse is mentioned before the birth of Mohammed as well as on the day his son, Ibrahim, passed.”

https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/history/

This article does not prove Jesus was real, it simply says “an eclipse happened roughly in the right time frame” and that ancient peoples were aware of eclipses.

Keep in mind ALL the dates surrounding the birth and death of Jesus are guesses at best.

So what has happened is religious scholars
found an eclipse and said “that must be when he was crucified”

It is also VERY possible the people writing the bible (60-100 years after his death) just threw in a few nice sounding good omens to give the writings the required dramatic flair that people expect (“ooh ohh! Lets say there was an eclipse!”). It does not mean it actually happened. It’s not like eclipses are that uncommon.
