Who made up Jesus's lineage?

It says he is a descendant of Abraham, King David, and Solomon. There's no evidence that these people existed, just like there isn't a shred of evidence that Jesus existed. Doesn't this prove that Jesus was like a comic book character?

    Genealogy was extremely important to the Jews and a child was presented to the temple and note made of his parents - these records would be kept with extreme care.

    There are two lines because one is his adopted paternal line and one is his maternal line.

    Presumably: Jesus' ancestors.

    it isn't made up. why is it modern people completely discount the ancients? israelites of that time period knew their history much better than we know ours today. the line of Jesus came through mary AND joseph and applied to Him because He was LEGALLY an adopted child which meant He had more of a claim than a natural biological child because a natural biological child could be LEGALLY disowned... but not an adopted child.

    Do you like being an ignoramous?

    There is manifold evidence in Israel of the existence of David and Solomon and outside as well

    Argument from ignorance fallacy....

    Even if your assertion (there is no evidence) were true, the absence of evidence is non-probative for or against a proposition.

    Indeed.

    And to complicate the ridiculous, there are two separate lineages in two different gospels.
