No, there isn't. We know he existed but that's about the extent of it. There's nothing more than that. Plus, if you believe that God is above Science, how can Science prove that Jesus is God?

I believe that God is so powerful that He can't be contained/proven by science because He is bigger than it.
Not really. It's just incredibly convenient that he could be above science:

I agree with Xujhan. NOTHING is above science, and if it apparently is, I don't know how any reasonable person can believe in it. Facts > Blind Faith.

I don't really agree with that, and I think that if ther is a God that I would be no smarter for it. I mean, let's be honest, God does not teach you how the universe works. He does not grant you wisdom, and he shows no power. Creating the universe doesn't count, because it's debatable if he did. If God needs no beginning or creator, why does the universe? Anyway, have you learned anything about how the universe works since you started believing in him? Nope. Know why? Because religion, especially Christianity, teaches you to be content with not understanding the universe, because once you start to, you start to unravel religion itself.
