That's the typical tactic. It usually takes at least seven posts of "...but what's the evidence that convinces these scholars?" before they answer.
This is why I'm a Jesus Mooter. It's not because I've been impressed by the evidence but that I'm worn down by the tactics of the "historists". It's a predictable formula. The evidence is paper thin so they pad the debate with lots of ad hominems, appeals to authority and other run-arounds.
