In 312 A.D., a Meteorite slammed into central italy. That was the year Constantine converted to Christianity and gave the church it's backing and boost to what it has become today.
Church records claimed that just before noon as he was praying and about to go to battle for dominion over Rome....a flash of light in a cross gave the message......"conquer in this". It is said Constantine took this as a sign from his now new Christian God. He let up on the persecution of christians and backed them and it became a powerful empire.
This idea of evidence, is based on carbon dating of that meteorite......and as speculation by some.
