"A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process." C.S. Lewis

I heard there wasn't any historical evidence that Jesus ever existed. is that true?

Actually, there is more un biased historical evidence for Jesus' existence than there is for Plato, Aristotle. Odysseus. Alexander the Great and many others. His existence was never really challenged seriously until recently, his early detractors often claimed he wasn't the messiah, or that he didn't rise from the dead, but not that he didn't exist. This has only recently become a possibility because we are so far removed from the events. For example, it would be hard for me to convince anyone that Ben Franklin was a myth because his life was fairly recent, he impacted many lives and some artifacts concerning him still exist. but in 1600 years, with those things long gone, It might work. The following website details the huge amount of historical data available on the subject. The website looks very objectively at the issue and details the skeptical concerns all along the way. I also like this site because it only uses non biblical sources, in other words, they were very careful to not "use the bible to prove the bible" http://www.thedevineevidence.com/jesus_history.html
