A low degree of evidence? Compared to what?

Are you really trying to anachronistically compare ancient events to today?

This fact explains why religions like Buddhism which rely on virtually no crucial historical facts but on direct personal experience, are more attractive nowadays to the West than historical supernatural religions.
