    but we know that the guy that the Bible was written about existed

    How do we know this?

    Now the evidence is essentially that the book exists about him,

    Spiderman must exist as well. Also all the books about him were written multiple decades later.

    and that he is referenced in other adjacent religious texts,

    You mean the Gnostic stuff written two centuries later or the Talmudic stuff written only a mere 150-400 years later?

    but that evidence is still more than the evidence that it was made up,

    Means motive and opportunity. Means, the early stories are all ripped off. Motive, sex and greed. Opportunity, if Paul is to believed in his 7 undisputed letters the only two people to see the resurrection are Peter and James and “the twelve” who he doesn’t name and never met.
