<div>The answer is probably not I.e. It is low prob=
ability. I finished Proving History: Bayes's Theorem and the Quest for the =
historical Jesus by Richard Carrier. I am still reading Nailed: Ten Christi=
an Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All by David Fitzgerald.</div><di=
v>I hadn't given it much thought in the past, now I don't think that the Je=
sus of the Bible existed; maybe 10%. Note that the English name Jesus is a =
cognate of the Hebrew name Joshua, of which there are and were many. =
So, I am sure that there were many Joshuas, and some of them probably tried=
to start a cult. But, most of the Biblical Joshua things, such as born of =
a virgin are simply myth, made up after the fact to conform with prophecy a=
nd to keep up with other myths of the time. Born of a virgin was very popul=
ar for gods.</div><div>DaveN </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>=
