I'll guarantee your list will be very short.

Short? How about we start with people much closer to the source than Ehrman - 20 centuries after the fact:

Didache
Barnabas
Clement of Rome
The Shepherd of Hermas
Ignatius of Antioch
Polycarp
Quadratus of Athens
Fragments of Papias
Quadratus of Athens
Aristides
Justin Martyr
Claudius Apollinaris
Minucius Felix
Melito of Sardis
Hegesippus
Dionysius of Corinth
Athenagoras of Athens
Irenaeus of Lyons
Rhodon
Theophilus of Caesarea
Theophilus of Antioch
Maximus of Jerusalem
Polycrates of Ephesus
Pantaenus
Clement of Alexandria
Tertullian
Serapion of Antioch
Apollonius
Caius
Hippolytus of Rome
Origen

This is just the list from the the first two centuries (of 20)!

Thats an impressive list, so do tell, when is God going to go on Maury Povich and prove he is the father of the baby?
