Best Answer

Historians usually accept that a person mentioned in ancient texts really did exist, unless there is good reason to believe otherwise. Jesus is mentioned in the gospels, so most historians accept by default that he existed, although there is no actual proof of his existence. Nevertheless, a growing minority of historians are beginning to question the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth.

Was Jesus real and was Adam and Eve real?

It is easier to deal first with Adam and Eve, as they clearly were not real. Not only is there no evidence for their existence, the scientific and historical evidence we do have is contrary to their existence.Whether Jesus was real can be broken down into two separate questions. First, did Jesus exist? Second, did Jesus perform miracles and was he the son of God?The existence of the gospels does not resolve these issues. However, most historians assume that Jesus probably did live some time around the first century CE, although there is no evidence for him. There is no reason to believe he performed miracles and no reason to believe he was the son of God.
