Jesus was God (John 10:30). That is a fact. Jesus died temporarily for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:55). That is a fact. We have proof. It is the Bible, the best-selling document authored by Jesus. Despite of all this, atheists want extra-Biblical proof.
We have it now.
I know that these data are
controversial, because they are based on the "solar system" model - a hypothesis that we know is never going to replace the
Firmament fact (Genesis 1:6). I am using the solar system data here not only for the sake of the argument but also because based on this theory and Einstein's theory of relativism, the locations of the wondering stars (planets according to the solar system model) on the Firmament can be predicted reliably. In addition, the nature of the solar system hypothesis will be addressed below.
Briefly: A scholar calculated the locations of the planets
on the day of Jesus' crucifixion (Matthew 27:35) and found out that they are
aligned precisely in the manner of a the cross and a man, including
the arms of Jesus, his legs AND a halo (rings of Saturn) to prove once and for all that
Jesus was and is God, the Son of God.
Quote:
A historical researcher has observed that the planets Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Earth and Venus aligned in an orrery model to form what can be seen as a man on a crucifix on the day associated by some with Jesus Christ's crucifixion, namely April 3, 33 A.D.
"More than a few studies have pinpointed that date based on the Bible, calendars, astronomical conditions, even geology," researcher and University of Wisconsin-Madison history major Miguel Antonio Fiol said in a statement.
An illustration released to the public shows the positioning of the planets on the date close to 2,000 years ago, noting that Saturn's rings at the top of the figure could be seen as representing a "halo" or the crown of thrones placed on Jesus' head. Uranus and Jupiter form the stretched hands, while Earth and Venus form the feet.

Again, irrefutable proof!
All this is also heavily supported by Scripture!
Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Verily, it is
a sign in the stars. Jesus is Real. He'll Return soon! Even if the hypothesis of the solar system is not Biblical, God knew that it would eventully be endorsed by atheists and still He managed to
sneak in His signature for the factual existence of Jesus. Brethren, I know that as soon as atheists read this, they'll be knocking on your doors
begging for forgiveness. I suggest we'll be graceful and accept their Repentance although we'll be laughing heartily within our souls at their despair and peril! We'll be seeing conversions at an unprecedented scale!
You cannot escape Jesus. Even within the most cherished atheist hypothesis, He'll find the way in.
"I am here", He says and the sinners finally repent.
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
John 9:5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Yours in Christ,
