Do you know what "A.D." stands for?

The entire dating system of the world was based upon the birth of the most important person that ever lived and you have the audacity to question His existence.

Furthermore, Julius Ceasar died in the ides of March 44 B.C. Why is that fact more legitimate than the life of Christ for whom we have both biblical and extrabiblical evidence of his life and witness?

AND...what does 'B.C.' stand for, sanspeur?

The truth is that you are living in denial and you are doing it deliberately.

Well, this is a silly argument.

Wednesday is derived from Wodins-day. Thursday from Thors-day. Friday from Freyas-day. All Norse gods. Obviously you are in denial about the norse pantheon and their existence.

As for Caesar's death, we do not get this simply from the writings of Shakespeare you know. We have copies of Caesar's Gallic Wars, we have archaelogical sites, we have contemporary Roman historians writing about him, we have the fact that Gaul (France) was occupied and ruled by Gauls before Caesar, and ruled by Romans afterwards.

There is NO contemporary documentation of the existence of Christ, other than the bible. There are a few extrabiblical accounts, but they can be completely disregarded as they are secondary sources written centuries after the alleged facts.

You position is like saying, "To verify scientific fact by using scientific methods is pointless?"

I have to head to work, so I will keep this brief. Mesopotamian astronomers were predicting eclipses 2700 years ago. It is easy for a prophecy to be made and then put in some window dressing about an eclipse. It is equally easy for a person to write about the fulfillment of that prophecy later, and say "yes, there was an eclipse at that time". NASA's confirmation means nothing, other than that there was an eclipse. Nothing about crucifixions.

Wrong: it means everything when one combined it with such an important event.
