Personally, I don't doubt that a good man may have lived in the Mideast during the early years of the Roman Empire, and the church may have sprung up from his disciples, but as for him being god!? Hmmm!. There were over 200 new religions at th time, and most featured a god, or son of a god conquering death and rising!.

Ever hear of Mithras!?

The actual wording might be is there any surviving evidence!. If the city hall where my birth records were flooded or burnt, or otherwise destroyed, would that invalidate my existence!?
