All evidence points to no.
What evidence? There seems to be near-universal agreement among the Christians I know that it was.
People believing something is not evidence.
Regardless, there is not near-universal agreement on the subject. I suppose MAYBE among Biblical literalists, there is more of a consensus but I actually doubt even that is true. It's not something that's explicitly stated anywhere in scripture so it's not a required belief, thus in the absence of any reason to believe the two are the same (besides sharing a common first name) I don't see why people would.
