You can't prove Jesus existed. You can show that you think the evidence tends to support your belief (and I'm not sure it does). Unless you have the physical body of Jesus right there, and are able to prove that physical body belongs to Jesus (and how would you do that?) the existence of Jesus will always be in doubt. That is why religion is called FAITH. I don't know why you insist on trying to prove out faith logically. I can see why I and SOlon talk about how silly it is- but then we don't believe it- so we don't have to have faith and we can poke holes in it till the cows come home. If religion and the Bible were fact that isn't faith- and if it isn't faith there is no "testing" of the believer, and if there is no test of the believer how to winnow out the skeptic from the truly faithful (over and over again in the Bible we here about those damned skeptics)? By trying to prove your faith by logic you are actually weighing in against your own God. He wants you to be credulous like a little child. The tree of knowledge is bad stuff- you need to stay ignorant. Don't reach for reason- it is the Devil's temptation.
