There are those who believe and those who don't.. period..
end of story. Research is a joke. Have you guys ever played
the telephone game? Now take the telephone game and stretch
it over thousands of years and several languages and multiple
agendas and lets see how close you get to the actual story.
The Jews were meticulous in keeping track ot their lineage. There was no agenda other than it's accuracy. Of all the ancient writings there are more copies of the New Testament (approx. 20K) than any other and all from a period in time that is closer to when the actual events happened (100-150 years if I'm not mistaken). These question don't arise concerning Plato and there is almost 1500 years separating the time he died and the earliest available writing and there are only 7 copies of that. But we have no problem believing that Plato existed.
