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.
In the silver age of Latin literature? Yeah I call bulkshit on that. It in fact with romans historians use especially high standards because of Roman propaganda. You know have Pilate's personal correspondance? We always have the writings of 6 contemporary historians from that geological area. The only solid historical evidence we do have is a offhanded remark from Paul in one of his letters.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
