That is a wrong premise.
Christianity is a myth, if it is proved wrong, one should look for the truthful religion.
Science does not claim to give answers to all the questions about life, by definition it cannot.

I know. thats why i said all of those arguments are nonsense that secular people believe in. 1) if christianity is false and 2) christianity is a religion then that doesnt conclude in all religions being false. only one religion, christianity.

If pagan people were so intelligent; why didn't they present it then to the followers of Jesus?

I assume you mean 'if Pagan people had noticed this then why didn't they point this out?', yes? They did. Well, some did. Emperor Julian the Great, during his Hellenic revival, brought in laws that prevented Christians from using the Classics as materials for converting people to Christianity - the laws stated they could only use the books of the Bible when talking about the Abrahamic god. It's possible the Church's creation of the concept of 'virtuous pagans' was designed to allow them to make use of evil pagan ways and materials without appearing hypocritical.

The thing is what the Church did wasn't actually that uncommon - various cultures blended with one another and as a result blended their respective gods as well. Such interactions is where Graeco-Egyptian worship came from - as an example Aset (Latinised as Isis) was conflated with Demeter. The Romans too conflated the Greek deities with many of their own and incorporated their aspects into their own gods to the point the line between the two pantheons began to blur. When Alexander the Great defeated the Persian Empire and conquered much of their lands, Hellenic & Hellenistic culture began to mingle with various cultures to create syntheses of ways of life. It was this that led to a period of increased Hellenisation of Zoroastrianism.

What got the goat of people like Julian was the fact that the Church spent so much time decrying Paganism as devil worship, sinfulness of the worst kind, pure evil etc and yet they were willing to manipulate, some would even say plagiarise these same 'Satanic' beliefs and pass them off as their own.
