    From the first paragraph…

    Today scholars agree that a Jewish man named Jesus of Nazareth did exist in the Herodian Kingdom of Judea and the subsequent Herodian tetrarchy in the 1st century AD, upon whose life and teachings Christianity was later constructed,[note 1] but a distinction is made by scholars between ‘the Jesus of history’ and ‘the Christ of faith’.

      I’m happy “scholars agree.” But that isn’t evidence. That’s a bunch of dudes who love Jesus finding a way to prove his actual existence.

      If you look hard enough, you can find evidence to prove whatever you want, as long as that isn’t disproven with science.
