Well, if AI says this is the truth...

Let me know if a single serious historian agrees with this take.

To be honest I didn't look any further into it than laughing at people believing in AI that much. I can't tell you if any historians agree or disagree with it.

Indy, you'll be happy to learn that AI agrees with you (when you query it in a neutral manner). I asked Copilot "Do any reputable historians argue that the historical Jesus was never crucified?"

Answer:

No, virtually all reputable historians—Christian, secular, and otherwise—agree that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. In fact, his crucifixion under the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate is one of the most widely accepted facts about his life.
🔍 Scholarly Consensus
•    The crucifixion is one of only two events in Jesus's life that enjoys "almost universal assent" among historians (the other being his baptism by John the Baptist).
•    This consensus spans scholars of all backgrounds, including skeptics and atheists. Bart Ehrman, a prominent secular scholar, has stated: "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees".
•    Non-Christian sources like Tacitus and Josephus also reference Jesus's execution, lending further historical weight.
🧠 What About Alternative Theories?
•    A few fringe theorists and mythicists (like proponents of the "Jesus myth theory") have questioned whether Jesus existed at all or whether the crucifixion occurred. However, these views are not supported by mainstream scholarship.
•    The overwhelming majority of historians reject these theories due to the abundance of early sources and corroborating evidence.
