Q about arguments for God's existence.

[abaris]

There are accounts written by people who would have known contemporaries of Jesus, such as Paul, for example, and even though the Gospels weren't put into writing until at least twenty-five years after Jesus is thought to have been crucified, scholars almost always assent that kernels of fact can be extracted from them (coupled with Tacitus and Josephus, for example, it's likely Jesus had a brother named James, was baptized by a certain John the Baptist, and suffered crucifixion under Pontius Pilate).

Josephus, as I mentioned earlier, is a known forgery. And that's the one and only passage where an actual person named Jesus is mentioned. And all the other authors only talk about a group called christians, not a person.

But that aside. It doesn't matter, if Jesus as a person existed. Vicki Q claimed It is absolutely clear that Jesus contemporaries strongly believed that he did things for which there was and there remains no explanation within current understanding. That is untrue. There are no accounts outside the gospels for anything miraculous happening.
