There isn't 100% certainty of anything.
So then why did you guys waste pages and pages arguing with me?

For me, because the case for "Jesus existed" is beyond a reasonable doubt.  (As opposed to beyond any doubt.)

 

 Ah but where is the reasonable line drawn?  For each person it is different, and each person may give differeing weights to the arguments

The actual reasonable line.

If you believe there isn't reasonable evidence jesus existed...  Then you basically can't believe in about 80% of recorded history.

Lots of people who we know volumes about often aren't even refrenced about except in one paragraph of second hand knowledge and the like.

 

 How can you know volumes about someone with only one paragraph?  Most volumes require many paragraphs

 

Plus its good to remain fairly skecptical of most of history:

 

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there 

Archaelogical evidence.

Archaelogical evidence doesn't tell you who people are (most the time) only what the people were like.

You could find a crapload of stuff owned by a regional govoner of rome.

Yet not know who he is until you read about how the govonor of that territory met with Caeser once.

 

 Most Archeology is about studying cultures based on the recovery of artifacts, however they are often forced to try and interpret the cultures based on what they can find, and even these finds can be debated over for years or even decades, since many of the cultures they study are long dead, often the picutre they get is incomplete and even needs to be reinterpreted at a later time
