> > If this is the standard of proof then we must throw out a whole lot of what we know about history. Anyone that we do not have bones for must not have existed, regardless of how many references in what would be considered a generally contemporary period archaeologically. Including anyone referenced in the Talmud, Torah, Upanishads, Vedas, or any other ancient text. By those standards, very little of what we know of history can be real.

> I think you misread George and I. The 'references' you favor in the Torah and Talmud are inferences by folks who wish to prove Jesus. Inferences are not proof. Much of history is inferred, alot is real, some is not.-And I get sent references from a website called "Jesus Never Existed"... The 'references' you favor are inferences by people who wish to disprove Jesus. Inferences are not proof. -
Just to make sure the standards of proof for either case are the same...
