You know that the Jesus that people acknowledge that may have existed is not the Jesus that christians nowadays worship. I mean, it may have been the same person, but not necessarily, the same feats, the same origin, the same divinity.
According to Bart Ehrman, the Jesus that people followed in the first century was a prophet, a teacher of scripture.... Later, someone glued onto this figure a few earlier prophesies about a messiah... the virgin birth would be one of them... and after some time (~300 years, or some 6 to 9 generations) the view currently held arose.
About Krauss's nothing... it is a tentative explanation for the origin of our Universe. A Universe from the apparent nothingness. A nothingness which is composed of virtual quantum particles and fields.
You may ask, then, where did these fields and particles come from?
I may ask, then, where did your god come from?
To both questions, the "they were always there" may apply.
However, we have a CERN which attests that these fields exist..... whereas your (or anyone else's) god is remarkably empty of evidence for its existence outside the minds of believers like you.
