Does any one have any historical evidence that Budha, Jesus and Muhammad, Karl Marx ever lived on earth?
I am a third generation in my lineage and , although my grandfather lived around 1800 ( I have been told this by my father-who is also dead now) yet funnily I dont have any historical evidence-visual or recorded- that this grand father ever lived, or truly is the one whom my father/grandmother told me about.
If such a person who lived barely two hundred years ago has no record whatsoever that he ever lived on earth, what evidence is there that all the so called "great" men of science and religion (the dead and famous ones) ever lived-especially for those who lived in an era when there were no cameras??

I'm afraid there are too many evidences to be recorded here.
Yes, all of them did exist. Incidentally, that's Buddha not Budha.

The only one that can be verified is Karl Marx. Though he wasn't very well known in his time, his works are documented. He has also been photographed, written books (one of which is very, very well known, the Communist Manifesto), went to University of Berlin (I suspect there are records of this), and so on.
As for Jesus, the bible cannot be used as proof he existed. It was written long after he died. Buddha was more of a teacher, and can't really be compared to Jesus or Muhammad, who are basically like messengers of God. However, for those 3, there aren't any actually physical documents that prove they existed. They're only hearsay.

Well the people that you mention have far to much evidence that they lived to claim they didn't. A lot of history is past down stories and such but as I said those you mention have way to much evidence that they did live then that they didn't.
Even atheists know the Jesus was a real person and admit that.

None of them really existed because None of this is real.
This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.
This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.
At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.
We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.
These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.
From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.
I hope that helps to answered your question.

Karl Marx a minimum of cared approximately human beings. He spent his total existence attempting to make peoples lives extra powerful. in case you have self assurance relating to the circumstances and the historic previous as much as that ingredient, He had some super concepts. for the period of today time of unfair commerce, we would choose some team thinking to maintain some communities alive.

your grandfather lived 200 years ago what are you around 130 years old, anyway all of these people existed there is evidence of Jesus and Muhammad, that were written during their life time, and Karl Marx is much more documented (i also would not call hima great man of science).

Jesus lived on the earth....proven in the Bible-which is really the oldest history book known to man. People believe that because the Bible is a religious book, is has no credibility. The book has been around longer than you, or any of your past lineage has...that's proof in itself.

Although your grandfather appears to have not existed, there is some evidence he existed. You just haven't dug deep enough. If you want proof of Jesus' existence just check the calendar. It was around the time that B.C. changed to A.D.

You gotta be kidding. If your grandfather lived around 1800, you must be over 100 years old, in which case you shouldn't be on the internet. You don't believe it can exist. Case closed.

Contemporary accounts that have survived, official records, oral histories, and dare i say it in the case of Marx, his writings.
Some characters are of course made up, I'd place Marx as obviously a real historical figure, Muhammed as probably real, Budha and Jesus as composites.
