Theology and history are different kinds of enterprises and proving historical events doesn't help theology.

If the guy didn't exist or do what was said he did, how are we certain that he allegedly died to save your sins. If the magician saws the girl in half do you believe that too?
Was he just knocked off his ass or was he blinded till his mind was changed for him? I looked up Acts 9:8-9 (not sure if that was the right way to quote it):
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. Maybe, that is what the part about the Godfather, Luca Brasi and the Bandleader was based on. In the latter case, the Bandleader was assured that his brains or signature would rest on that contract. In this case, go blind or get sight but you do it my way.
Perhaps not but it gives it more credibility
