Another strawman. Name one scholar who accepts an historical Jesus who was born in the 21st century?

The name 'Jesus' has no meaning until it can be properly identified. Only in fiction can a character be anything or be anywhere.

How is it possible to identify an unknown person?

When was Jesus born? And who identified him?

He is identified as the would-be King of Israel crucified by Pontius Pilatus for this motive.

No known historian identified such an event where a King of Israel named Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
