I do agree with people that without certain people and or events prior to Jesus the human race would not be were we are today, however how many people know these others?

Mention the word Jesus and almost everyone on this planet will give you two answers:
1. Believed to be son of God.
2. He was the guy that raped me in a Mexican prison lol.


Also I agree with BeenVTrigger, those saying he didn't exist are ignorant. What we don't know is was he a common carpenter that knew a few tricks, son of god, or a man from the future who discovered time travel lol.

Ah the ignorant calling others ignorant. A fine example of the Dunning-Kruger effect at play.

I give you the same response I gave him - there is no contemporary evidence for such a Messiah. I challenge you to find one piece of it.

I recently saw a BBC documentary about the history of mankind, where they claimed that genetic analysis has shown that pretty much all humans living today (at least on the northern hemisphere) are descendants of one woman who lived about 60-70000 years ago.

If that's true, I'd place my bets on her.

 

Fascinating stuff. Although you're mistaken as to her importance. If she had died, another female would become that mitochondrial eve. She bears no importance at all tbh. It just means the lineage remains in tact. And I'm pretty sure her parents are more important than her, and so on and so forth. 

 

Then why do "Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

If what your saying is true and their is no "contempory evidence" then why is it that almost all modern scholars (both non-Christian and Christian) agree that he existed?  Either A) all of these professionals should be fired, or B) You are missing something.
