Alter2Ego, the evidence you have presented is not terribly substantial given the claims made about Jesus life and deeds written in the Gospels. If these events which are described in the gospels actually happened, I would have expected a lot more being written about them by contemporary writers (which a substantial enough amount of their works survive to our era). Also not to mention Christians would made the effort to preserve these works as well.
All we have in the first century or so after the supposed death of this guy, is a disputed authenticity from a near contemporary historian (Josephus). The quotes from the works of Pliny the Younger, Tacitus etc just relay what information they heard from the Christians themselves. We have no evidence which would confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt Jesus Christ *actually* existed, let alone confirm the historicity of events portrayed in the New Testament.
