I know that a lot of people try to dismiss his existence entirely because the accounts we base his existence on are second-hand and/or written many years after he died, but people have to understand that by classical historical standards that's pretty good evidence.
But like others said, no, the miracle man definitely did not exist.
Read Richard Carrier's "On The Historicity of Jesus" and find out how wrong you are.
Considering Carrier's less than savory reputation among biblical historians, I'll pass. No proper scholarly journal is even willing to review that book.
