    hese scholars have done the research and digging into sources and have the evidence that Jesus, the man, existed in the time that the gospels Bible describes.

    That is untrue. The consensus that he likely existed isn’t founded on any contemporary evidence, because there is none. They assume he existed from events and sources that all stems from a period after he purportedly died.

    The fact that there isn’t any contemporary evidence is an indisputable fact, acknowledged by the historians who believe that Jesus existed as well.

        You want a citation that there is no evidence? Isnt this reversing the burden of proof? Claims require evidence, lack of evidence is not something that has to be demonstrated.
