Who does know Jesus and how many people does goes to church. Do you believe in Jesus and why?

By scientific evidence do you mean archaological evidence? (because that is the only relevant science that I can think of)

And actually there is a great deal of independant evidence if you don't want to count what was written in the Bible, or what has been written by Christians that there was this guy called Jesus. ( - son of Joseph; of Nazareth, also known as the Christ)

The most famous of the old records is by a guy called Josephus, who wrote a sort of social commentary that included independant reports of the crucifixion of Jesus. He was not, and never became a Christian

There is also a lot of credible evidence outside of the Bible put forward by people who are Christians too.

If you are interested in ethically sound and unbiased historical information you could do worse than read books by John Dickson - an Australian with a world class reputation.

Yes, I am a Christian, and I do know Jesus, but people who AREN'T Christians and would not think that anything that is written in the Bible is worth the paper it is written on still consider the above information as credible.

So, sorry, have to disagree with you...there is actually a LOT of evidence from all sorts of sources that the particular Jesus known as Jesus the Christ did exist.
