Even without the Bible there are many documented historical records clearly
demonstrating the existence of Jesus. You should try googling before you try
posting.

I googled on "historical records of jesus" (without the quotes). The first
three hits (as far as I've looked) were:
www.scripturessay.com/cev1.html
http://www.missiontoamerica.com/history.html
http://www.sonic.net/sentinel/naij3.html
its tempting to provide you with a summary, but I'll let you read them for
yourself.
