Default Is there anyway to prove Jewish, Christian and Muslim beliefs were derived from Zoroa

Besides just saying Zoroastrianism came first and so the others must have copied from it?

Well it did come first and they do have stuff directly lifted from it, there isn't much else required to prove this.

Yea, just look at the tenets of Zoroastrianism and you'll easily see how these religions are linked

Well usually, if something comes first, and several other things come AFTER that something, with so many undeniable similarities to that first something, then those several other things can rightly be accused of copying that original first something.

There's no way to prove that claim conclusively. But if you take the comparison between Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic religions, their similarities are so close to identical that it's hard not to make that claim. It's not like I can take a novel, rename the characters, and call it a new book, can I? That's exactly what the Abrahamic religions supposedly did. For Christianity, their Rapture is so similar to the apocalypse in Zoroastrianism; their idea of Jesus is almost identical to Ahura Mazda and Spenta Mainyu; their idea of Satan is almost identical to Angra Mainyu; the prosperity that is to come from the resolution of the Rapture is completely identical to that of resolving the apocalyptic battle in Zoroastrianism.

Stick in a virgin giving birth, a calcification, rising from the dead, and claims of a Trinity, and somehow, you've got an entirely new religion.

I think only Christian is a western religion, derived from Greek and Roman religion.Elements of Zoroastrianism were incorporated in the Greek and Roman religion prior to birth of Christianity.
