However, If you do your research, regarding the non-christian traditional sources such as: The Apocryphal Gospels; Historian's and Roman authorities' surving and scholarly credible modern sources from antiquity; Then you will find through avid and persistent study that....Your average joe athiest, in this world, with a college education has not taken the time to seriously investigate all the, very convincing, credible sources from antiquity that are available at any local U.S. Library or at www.Amazon.com's kindle bookstore ;)The Apocryphal Gospels are, primarily, considered to have been written by Christians of the early 1st century. They were considered by ancient christian shcolars, circa. The Council of Nicea (300 A.D.), to have been heretical sources and were banished from the Canonization of, what now, is "The Holy Bible".

How can you prove Jesus never lived on earth?
You can't people have tried but most scholars of antiquity agree Jesus existed. Various Christian and non-Christian sources are used to study and establish the historicity of Jesus. Jewish sources such as Josephus, a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar. Roman sources such as Tacitus, a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire. These different ources are compared and contrasted to Christian sources such as the Pauline Letters in the New Testament and the Synoptic Gospels.
