There is more proof that there was a Jesus Christ who went around performing miracles and preaching then there is that there was a Marcus Aeralius.
And that is?
Didn't I just do a post on here a while ago comparing the proof for Jesus to the proof for Gaius Julius Ceasar? How did that come out?

And if you dont believe the claim about The chariot wheels and stuff at the bottom of the ocean, go read any Egyptian history book. it will include the story of how the Egyptian Army (which was at the time the strongest in the world) was reduced to nothing in the matter of a day because of the Red Sea. Egypt ceased being a world power that day. Why would that be unless The Red Sea really did collapse on the army?
I have never read a single history book written in the last sixty years that contains any reference to this. There is no evidence of it ever happening. Nor would Egypt send every single soldier they had at the time after a bunch of run-away slaves.
Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
