Again with these 'bandwagon" arguments, which prove nothing. LOL
No, once more the proof is in the arguments offered by the scholars in their scholarship (with which you are unfamiliar).
This a fundamental issue you seem to have regarding the bandwagon and appeal to authority fallacies. Yes, just because a lot of people believe something doesn't make it true, nor is it true because some authority says so.
That isn't what we are dealing with here. This is a forum. Even a small, popular, non-academic book on the historical Jesus will occupy 100+ pages. The academic arguments about the historical Jesus are either very specific (dealing with one particular thing, like Vermes' article on Josephus' reference to Jesus) or the fill large volumes, often several volumes. Meier, for example, recently came out with the fourth several hundred page volume to his work on the historical Jesus (
A Marginal Jew).
In other words, other than giving the basics for the reasons why Jesus' historicity is virtually unanimous among experts, the best thing to do is to appeal to the scholarship itself.
In fact, this is EXACTLY what scholarship is all about: appealing to past work in the area so you don't have to reinvent the wheel everytime you want to make a point. Read any article from any peer-reviewed journal, whether it is New Testament Studies, Geophysical Research Letters, Lingua, or whatever, and you will find it filled with references.
By your interpretation of "appealing to authority" all scholarship, including all branches of science, are fundamentally flawed. They all work by appealing to the arguments made by other experts. Those arguments which stand the test of time (e.g. the argument that neurons don't connect, but rather synapses have clefts, which was a big debate sometime ago and is now an accepted aspect of neural science) are the arguments which can be appealed to in order to build off of them. This is how our knowledge progresses.
Jesus research is no different. Unlike most aspects of most fields, however, when we deal with Jesus' historicity we are dealing with something different. For one thing, the critical inquiry began 200+ years ago. Unlike with a number of modern fields (e.g. computer science) that's a long time to establish arguments to test and build off of. More important, with all the thousands and thousands of experts, and millions of pages of scholarship, only a tiny minority in two centuries (and by that I mean about half a dozen experts) have found the evidence for Jesus' historicity unconvincing.
