I have never taken the time to look for disinterested evidence that
Aristotle once existed, because it isn't important enough for me to 
take the time to do it.  If I live my life as if Aristotle was an actual 
historical person and it should ever be shown that he wasn't, then the only 
damage will be that I was wrong about something, and that wouldn't be 
the first time I was wrong. Believing that Aristotle was a real person when 
actually he wasn't would be only a trivial thing, because I probably haven't 
had thoughts or conversations about Aristotle more than a dozen or so 
times in my entire life.  However, if a vociferous religious sect should arise 
in this country and become powerful enough to try to impose on the 
general public its view that Aristotle was a god or a son of a god and that
believing in him was so important that the country's laws should be 
changed to reflect Aristotle's significance, then you can be sure that I 
would take the time to look for disinterested evidence that such claims as 
these are true.  Because a vociferous group in this country attaches such 
importance to Jesus, I have taken the time--considerable time--to look for
disinterested, contemporary evidence that this man actually existed.  
You know what I found?  I found that there is no such evidence.

  Gotcha! Translation: There ain't no such thing as "disinterested" 
evidence. Your criteria are purely arbitrary and based on your desire 
for God not to exist. You accept the existence of Aristotle because he 
is no threat to your godless paradigm. Try telling Jesus that there is 
no "disintersted" evidence for His existence when you stand before Him 
in judgement. If you can even "stand" at all!
