As a "protestant" I refer you to Blaise Pascal's PROOFS OF JESUS CHRIST (from his THOUGHTS).

Section XII<\a>

Article says the Bible is the best evidence we have.

I am OK with that.

Now about his death..found this thread:

"On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ" JAMA Atticle

Now the Miracle of resurrection can be explained HOW!

Looking at the Non believers.

Without reading the story, it can be said that the Godhead has arranged things so that two concepts must be taken on faith alone. They are:

(1) The whole scope of Creation is formed ex nihilo, out of nothing.

(2) The Creator came into the physical sphere invested in the physical body of one of its creatures.

There is a written report of the above, comprehensively (but not exhaustively) describing the Creation and its Creator, a record whose origin must be taken on faith, and which is not verifiable by tangible evidence; but the contents give the key to its value:

"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Heb 11:5-6 AV translation, Deity edited by capitalized).

Attempts to prove Jesus' existence as an incarnation of the Creator by physical evidence would therefore be futile as well as impudent.

Here are the credentials of the author:

Natalie Wolchover was a staff writer for Live Science from 2010 to 2012. She hold a bachelor's degree in physics from Tufts University and has studied physics at the University of California, Berkeley.

The article is pure bunkum. No mention of any references to Jesus in the writings of the jewish historian Josephus nor in other letters by Roman authorities mentioning Christ. All it does is refer to various relics of varying authenticity.

Jesus' life and death hold up to scientific scrutiny

Faith is not subject to scientific scrutiny nor is grace, which is a result of faith.

There is more evidence for Jesus than any other figure in antiquity. Certainly more evidence that Jesus existed than there is that Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Caesar or Cleopatra ever existed.
