You don't.
Really, "prove" is the wrong word. Nothing in real life is proved. You just have evidence for something and against something, then you weigh the evidence.
Secondly, you can't weigh evidence against "Christianity". It just isn't defined well enough. First, you have to state what it is, exactly, that you're trying to determine the verity of. Even if you say that you're trying to determine the truth of the statement, "The Christian God exists", that doesn't really give us much to work on. You have to state what you mean by "God". Many people have different definitions of what a god is, and there is little there that is really testable.
A more testable statement is, "The God in the Bible is just a story made up by men". Stories and men are fairly well defined. You can look for evidence that shows that to be true or false. In fact, if you look at the history of most religions, you'll find it is fairly easy to find evidence that they were stories derived from earlier myths. You can also point to contradictions in the text and writing styles to get evidence that they are made up stories.

No u can't. Because all original evidenses of Gospel are altered.
So now a days u can't prove Christianity.
And Christians are not united in their faith.
In Islam Shea or Sunni faith is same.Basic 5 pillars are the same.God is one. Atleast u don't have a single thing to unite as one in common.No single bible.Muslims have only one Quran.
Lots of contradictions in the context of Bible if u read it completely by taking notes.
So there is no way of proving except lying on somethings as u can.

By first proving that Moses existed, then proving that he didn't make it up. Then you have to prove that the "prophecies" are actual prophecies and prove that Jesus existed and actually fulfilled them (which cannot be done with any writing other than the writings of his followers from after his death and since the birth of a child from a virgin would have been huge news it should have existed elsewhere if even in the writings of the magi). Then prove that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected.
None of this can be done.

You can prove Christianity exists because there are so many Christian churches throughout the world.
If you mean can you prove the beliefs of Christianity, namely the belief that Jesus was the Son of God, than no. That is why it is called FAITH. You believe in something that cannot be proved.

If you want a reasonable way to prove it - apart from what people say, consult the Holy Bible with an open unbiased mind. You will soon come to realize that truly ;
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you.
Christ is its grand subject, our good the design and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

I think very few people doubt that Jesus Christ existed, and most people who read about his life and the things he said can't help admiring and respecting him.
I just always wonder how anybody can admire and respect him without taking his teachings seriously. If you don't believe that he was the son of God, then what do you do with what he said:
8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.

What is there to prove? Christianity definitely exists.
Now, maybe you are asking about something else regarding a particular tenent of Christianity.

It is impossible, that's why most Christians can't win a debate on whether religion is real or not. People are so stupid when it comes to religion. They believe that just because there are followers, and teachers, and a Bible, that this is the truth. It can't be anymore proven that it is the truth than that it isn't. What about the other religions of the world? Are they wrong?

Proof defeats the purpose of Faith. However, there are scientific facts that back up the Bible and prove that it is supernatural in origin...

The intangible can be represented by the tangible, but never proved by the tangible.
You cannot quantify fear, faith, or love. You believe in their existence by experiencing them.
