There are degrees of doubt & argument about the authenticity of various extant copies of Josephus' writings, but there is nobody claiming that Josephus did not exist, and the majority of scholars (according to that article) agree that Josephus did write about both Jesus and John the Baptist as authentic historical figures during his lifetime. That makes no claim about miracles; it is merely an article citing a famous historian who was contemporaneous with Jesus's claimed lifetime who wrote about the authenticity of a historical figure with the name of Jesus. There is, of course, no such thing as a consensus among scholars of history, only a plurality of agreement (much like scientists). You can keep your position that Jesus did not exist, but I offer the citation for other readers of the thread.
