https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus#Existence "Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and most biblical scholars and classical historians see the theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted." ::: "Although a few scholars have questioned the existence of Jesus as an actual historical figure, many scholars involved with historical Jesus research believe his existence, but not the supernatural claims associated with him, can be established using documentary and other evidence." ::: Although a very small number of modern scholars argue that Jesus never existed, that view is a distinct minority and most scholars consider theories that Jesus' existence was a Christian invention as implausible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus#Accounts "almost all modern scholars consider his baptism and crucifixion to be historical facts." ^Islam is a lie[.] The Koran denies Jesus died on the cross. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus#Two_widely_accepted_historical_facts ", James Dunn stating that these "two facts in the life of Jesus command almost universal assent". Dunn states that these two facts "rank so high on the 'almost impossible to doubt or deny' scale of historical facts" that they are often the starting points for the study of the historical Jesus. Bart Ehrman states that the crucifixion of Jesus on the orders of Pontius Pilate is the most certain element about him. John Dominic Crossan states that the crucifixion of Jesus is as certain as any historical fact can be."

Other views may pre- or post-date the individual books by several decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript#New_Testament_manuscripts Parts of the New Testament have been preserved in more manuscripts than any other ancient work, having over 5,800 complete or fragmented Greek manuscripts, 10,000 Latin manuscripts and 9,300 manuscripts in various other ancient languages including Syriac, Slavic, Gothic, Ethiopic, Coptic and Armenian.

When McDowell published his first powerful defense of the Bible in his book, "The Evidence That Demands A Verdict," it became a national bestseller within a matter of months. McDowell's writings contained a body of undeniable evidence on the validity of Holy Scripture. More recently McDowell has added even more solid information to his thesis, &, to the dismay of agnostics & atheists, made the validity of the Bible even MORE undeniable. This is the special tv version of that powerful information presented by McDowell himself. https://youtube.com/godnewevidence I agree with Dinesh D'Souza:Fine tuning & atheist communism https://myspace.com/turntojesuschrist/blog/364794574
