Many atheists claim that there is no evidence of Jesus outside the Bible, but few scholars take this seriously. In fact, the historical evidence for Jesus is better than that of many historical personalities like Ceasar, Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun, and Socrates, and many others. For example, Tacitus, the Roman historian, wrote about Jesus in 115 A.D. <ref>http://www.digisys.net/users/ddalton/evidence_of_jesus_outside_the_bible.htm</ref>. Even Josephus, a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about Him. <ref>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/jesusref.html</ref>.
