The rapture is finally here again!

Chapabel, can you say oral traditions? Also, it's nice that you mentioned those so called 500 witnesses mentioned in the scriptures who supposedly witnessed Jesus ascension up into the clouds. Not one of them even wrote about Jesus, in fact Jesus himself did not write a single word himself that is found in your bible. Everything that is written there are second, third, or fourth person accounts ad infinitum. Basically you are believing what someone else said Jesus said. Also, you said Paul was an eyewitness of the resurrected Jesus which is in the scriptures as well, supposedly while he was traveling on the road to Damascus. It's interesting that none of the others that were there wrote or even mentioned this event so here is my question, were they also illiterate like the other 500 witnesses or was this just a coincidence?

It's interesting to note also that none of the historians of the alleged time when Jesus conducted his ministry around 30 -33 CE even bothered to write one word about him. He was supposedly raising the dead, healing incurable diseases and maladies so much so that he drew the attention of the authorities, yet not one historian bothered to write a single word about this "great" man claiming to be the son of God.

...why do we not have even one piece of written evidence of the time to counter these claims?

Because those claims weren't made until well after those "times" were over?

Nope. Most of the N.T. is thought to have been written before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. This is well within the time frame...try again.

You better go hit the books this statement is incorrect entirely. The oldest book of the synoptic gospels is believed to be the book of Mark and that book is dated to around 70 AD or later due to the mention of the destruction of the temple Mark 13:1,2
