Many atheists claim that there is no evidence of Jesus outside the Bible,{{fact}} but few scholars take this seriously.  Historical evidence for Jesus is comparable to that of many historical personalities such as Caesar, 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>, and Josephus, a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about Him. <ref>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/jesusref.html</ref>.

But historical facts, or their absence, are irrelevant since we all know He existed. Historical and scientific facts are generally frowned upon by christians, and in particular American christians, hence the prevalence of a belief in [[creationism]] despite vast tracts of scientific information ably proving it to be nonsense.

But historical facts, or their absence, are irrelevant since we all know He existed. Historical sources and scientific facts are unnecessary.
