As far as I can tell there is no *reliable* independent historical evidence.

Yes he has been metioned in various non-christian and even "uninterested" historical accounts. That is not to say that he was a religious figure though (and not to say that he wasn't too) but there is no reason to doubt the he, as a person at least, existed.

Besides the Bible there are plenty of archaeological findings that support the Bible. Then there is Josephus. And of course the Roman Secular history.

Are you serious? Even his detractors never denied his existence. Do you think all of the Greek scriptures were written by fictional writers? Do you think all the Crusades were fought over fictional made up stuff? Get real.

no, there is not any real evidence, only one small remark in a suspect 10th century copy of josephuses antiquity of the jews, which the church father origen fails to mention in his commetaries on josephus. philo of alexandria, a jewish historian fails to mention him and contemporary roman commentators fail to mention him. later suetonius and pliny the younger mention christians as followers of christ or cheuristos. the supposed mention by thallus only reaches us from the lips of julius africanus a christian apologist. ask to see their sources.

HEAPS! The most self-evident proof for His existence is that our calendar is dated with reference to His birth. But of course it is now considered politically incorrect to make too much out of the Judeo-Christian framework so now the secular world uses BCE instead of BC. See how the world try to suppress all things Christian?
