There are plenty of references, Christians just compiled most of them into the Bible. Dr. Ehrman cannot be confident in his statement. We are unable to prove the dating of various documents before 2nd century, but that does not mean they were not written before 2nd century. Copy date is different from original writing date. <100 years is actually very good, considering Alexander the Great's earliest copies of history were written 400 years after his death, Caesar's 950 years after his, and Plato's 1250 years after his. If they are considered trustworthy, why not Jesus? And don't use the word "conspiracy."
