I can appreciate your ability to google, but you seem to be completely discounting the teachings of the Bible and historical writers of Jesus day.
Historical writers? The only writer that's historical is Edit: Paul (Sorry), I think (And that one is a long shot). The rest are anonymous and appeared to have somewhat copied each other. Hardly historical.

I guess that is your point, but I don't know what to say. I have no interest in debating Christianity with someone who refutes every teaching. I get it, your mind is closed to any line of thinking about the truth of Christianity. No need to argue.
Refutes or repudiate? Refuting is the action of disproving, not disagreeing (which sometimes it is used incorrectly in this way, I'll concede).
And my mind is not closed at all, I think I've been rather receptive to other ideas -- just asking for a bit of evidence other than: Experts with a mountainous bias say ________.
If I was shown something of merit, I would no longer hold my position. I'm more interested in truth than I am in arguing.

Do you actually think the rest of the writers of the Bible, other than Peter, were anonymous? This is the sort of thing that makes talking to you not worth someone's time.

You are correct, I used the wrong word, repudiate.
I shouldn't type in a hurry. There are several authors included in the Bible, as well as writing from others during the 1st century.
Tacitus, Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Lucian, and the Babylonian Talmud all speak of the evidence and teachings of Jesus, and they were not Christians. But they did know the Truth.
As far as showing you something of merit, there is plenty of physical evidence around today of Jesus existence and the world during His day. It really all boils down to what you or I choose to believe, doesn't it?
