There is no evidence of a historical Jesus. But, that doesn't mean he didn't exist. Maybe there were many Jesuses at different times in the history of mankind, when we needed someone to wake us up. Maybe instead of calling them Jesus we could just simply call them Awaken.
If the evidence was there then the "modern scholars" wouldn't need to "agree", and the issue wouldn't be "generally settled". duh.
