I think you are conflating the teaching of Religious Studies where children learn about the faiths of the world without prejudice with being expected to attend & participate in Christian prayer & worship.

I am surprised you equate a Sky TV salesman with someone who wants to challenge and change your belief system. One wants to change the contents of your bank balance, the other the contents of your head.

From my understanding, *you* have to choose to listen to the guy. If you don't like him, don't buy his book, don't read his articles and don't watch his videos ..

Talking evidence, which obviously you have to decide the validity of yourself, there are 353 Old Testament prophecies that had to be fulfilled in the person of Jesus.
Statistically impossible if Jesus wasn't the true prophesised Messiah, especially the genealogy ones.

I am not sure what you mean by a "parameter"? Scientific facts are generally determined by a consensus amongst a scientific community when a theory, predicting various scenerios is tested against observed and validated data and judged to be correct or not.
I am not a Bible scholar so it is difficult for me to debate the veracity of the 353 prophecies so I will opt out of that one ..
