Searching for an historical JC makes as much sense, and proves just as fruitful, as looking for an historical Darth Vader. The only real difference is non-Star Wars fans don't usually get threatened with fire and pointy metal things simply for not believing the mythology.
According to the research I've done, an overwhelming majority of historians and related scholars, christian and non-christian, contend that Jesus is a historical person who did exist during the time frame indicated in the bible.
So the existence of something is directly proportional to the number of people who believe in and contend its existence? The eminence of the authority scoring double, I suppose?
Related note: what exactly is "the time frame indicated in the bible"?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
