+1. Well written.

There is zero surviving non-biblical contemporary evidence for a historical Jesus. [/quote]

Overwhelming Consensus (≈95–99% of relevant experts)

[b]Virtually all professional historians, biblical scholars, and classicists who specialize in the relevant period (whether Christian, Jewish, atheist, agnostic, or otherwise) accept that a historical Jesus existed, was born around 4–6 BCE, was baptized by John the Baptist, gathered followers, taught in Galilee, and was crucified under Pontius Pilate around 30–33 CE.[/b][/quote]

They think he [i]most likely[/i] existed.
