Kind of like the black swan problem. It is pretty easy to prove the existence of white swans but impossible to disprove the existence of black swans.

1. Paint in black swan can exist.
2. Plastic black swan can exist.
3. Genetically mutated swan can be black.

I see no hard problem here.

I suspect such evidence would cause a world wide media storm
No, media hates me. I have 29 warnings in RF.

The hard part is not the proof, as in finding one but in disproving a black swan exists.

Tell you what, if you go about disproving the existence of black swans, I'm make the attempt to disprove the existence of Jesus.

And you haven't been banned yet? RF seems pretty tolerant.

There are infinitely many proofs for Jesus's existence, and almost none of them are unanimously refuted. On the other hand, all disproofs of Jesus's existence are unanimously refuted. Hence, only one option remains:
Jesus is unanimously proven.

Atheists may disagree with you if you dont have a body of Jesus you can show them as evidence...Just saying :)

Nice straw man fallacy. I disagree with him, because he's just constructed a risible circular reasoning fallacy, stacking up one bare assumptions after another. He also doesn't see to understand what proof means. I also am prepared to believe it is possible Jesus existed, that still leaves all your work before you, as his existence doesn't remotely evidence any of the divine or supernatural claims made about him.

My understanding is that Jesu spirit is in heaven, if he did take with him the physical body or not, I do not know

There was a fire-breathing goat the size of a mountain. There's a book written by an anonymous author, and it says that people told him that a thousand other people saw the fire-breathing goat, and that it all happened hundreds of years ago. But then the goat died and its entire body was shifted to another dimension that we can't detect.

You can't disprove it. Therefore it is unrefuted. Therefore it is true. Am I doing it right?

Can I ask what the strawman was in my reply?
I kind of have not understood the use of strawman you use.

I dont know :confused:
I can only speak for my personal faith in a God, but can not answer for how others should or should not believe

The problem that you are not addressing is the issue of the two Jesuses.
1. The historical character who is referred to in some near contemporary texts. This Jesus (or someone like it) probably existed.
2. The magical character for whom there is no corroborative references nor evidence. This Jesus almost certainly did not exist.

You won't find many people arguing with 1., but there is nothing to support 2.

"In War and in Love there are no rules." (c)

Well i think if someone makes a bold statement that can only be read as fact then they should be able to back up that statement.

It seems however that many don't think the same way.

To me all that means is they have nothing but flim flam and it does their credibility no good whatsoever.

Not having a body is not the issue. It is the lack of any evidence for the magic, or any evidence that magic even exists. A person on whom the Biblical Jesus was based probably existed. The Jesus described in the Bible did not.

According to science, has there been any indication of Jesu life? I seen some documentaries about this topic, but I dont understanding all of how science looking for evidence or proof.
It is not something that is within the scope of science.

If a Muslim doubts Bible, he doubts the definition of Jesus. Because the Bible is introduction to Jesus. Hence, Koran depends on Bible.
The Quran fundamentally contradicts the Bible on the issue of Jesus.
They can't both be right...but they can both be wrong.

"In War and in Love there are no rules." (c)
Is that a rule?
