If the story of Genesis is a fable what makes the story of Jesus true?
Hereticzero
What makes the story of Daniel Boone true? It can be difficult to separate the man from the myth. Some people believe Jesus was a mythological character. Most likely he did exist--there is at least one independent historical record in reference to him.
In response to other answer, Josephus refers to Jesus in the early first century fairly extensively. Suetonius refers to "Chrestus," which is a likely reference to Christ. Tacitus and Pliny the Younger refer more generally to early christians. Then, of course, there is the New Testament, though much of it comes across as mythological. Whether or not the other gospels were derived from the writings of Mark, there is still Mark.
Most scholars believe Jesus did in fact exist, and for what little it may be worth I'm personally satisfied such a person existed, whether or not all the accounts attributed to him occurred. Certainly many of the stories about Daniel Boone were apocryphal, even though the historical record of Boone's existence is quite compelling.
OTHER ANSWER: Please cite the 'independent historical record'. The above answer does not answer the question. Please see discussion before posting additional information and please stay on topic.
