According to Rabbi the ultimate proof that God exists is the following:
Millions of individuals saw god appear at mount Sinai including Egyptian emigrants. All of these people passed down the knowledge of god through the generations and the story has remained consistent (no variations). No other religion has this many witnesses seeing a miracle.
Is this really a proof that Judaisms is the only real religion?

The Mormons claim that they can prove their own religion is true. Of course, they plant all the evidence.
What's to stop the same happening here?
Firstly, there isn't even a record in Egypt of a mass exodus of slaves. They slo COULDN'T have escaped because at the time there were no gaps in Egypt's borders large enough for them to get out without being spotted by one of its many watchtowers. At best, there were maybe 50-60 slaves in total that escaped.
Secondly, what's to stop me from making up history? Loads of people have done it. I can write anything I want into history, as long as there's no-one around to disprove it. So - a bunch of Jews decide one day that they've seen God on a hill. There probably weren't 1,000,000, but that's besides the point. They start spreading the word. Believers decide that since the three people spreading the rumours say there were hundreds, they must have been there aswell. Soon, the hundreds grows to thousands, and suddenly the story changes from there were hundreds to there were thousands and so on until we make our way up to present day where we get the myth that there were over a million.
Thirdly, thousands each year claim enlightenment. For them to be right, this theory must be wrong, and vice versa.
Finally, above all else, proof that it hasn't changed through generations, pls?

There is also some research in how the religion develop and there is plenty of them. For example the cargo cults of Pacific Melanesia and New Guinea. They evolve from the principal that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The cults developed indepandently on various islands that were widely separated. Fascinating subject. Some of them developed in 19-houndrets some after the Second World War. David Attenborough interview some of the priests asking why they wait to something that has been pronissed 20 years ago. They responce were briliant: If you wait two thousand years for Jesus to come and he did not so far, then we can wait more than 20 years.
