I have just finished watching a video of the Bible Archeology Society that purports to show data of where Jesus lived in the first century, especially the sites in the Galilee. But all the video does is discuss issues such as the James ossuary, the Galilee boat, a piece of a so-called crucified bone, and other things that are NOT ANY KIND of corroborating empirical evidence of any kind EVEN for the existence of Jesus and the other names of the New Testament. It is a clever attempt to leave up to the imagination of the viewer that the relics of archaeology point in the direction of sufficient evidence based on the assumptions of Church dogma. It is intellectually dishonest to present it with the odd disclaimer that nothing "proves" this or that, BUT........ "shows evidence of the world "where Jesus lived." Doing so without the slightest shred of evidence for the existence of ANY Christians or Jesus in the first or second centuries. Absolutely incredible.....
Let's give thought to the fact that there is NO EVIDENCE at all that NAZARETH existed in the first or second centuries altogether. Rene Salm has studied this very carefully. Here is a link that discusses it.

IF Nazareth did not exist, and is not mentioned in Josephus or ANY Jewish source, then that is basic proof that the NT stories were not written in the first or second centuries. End of story.
