There is no way we will ever definitely know if Jesus existed or not. There are decent arguments on both sides of the issue.
As an atheist, all Ehrman is really saying is that some carpenter schmuck did some preaching in ancient Judea and got nailed to a cross for it. It's not all that implausible of a thesis. Especially when you consider his other argument: the Gospels probably don't depict him accurately at all.
