The fact is there is no proof of the miracles or events in the life of Jesus nor any attestations of it until at least decades after the supposed events from Christian sources and even these are hearsay and/or anonymous accounts.
The testimony relating to Jesus' life, death and resurrection began immediately, not decades later.
Jesus wasnt arrested, flogged and executed based on an absence of evidence of His ministry. An "imaginary" Jesus didnt have anonymous people running to the Roman/Jewish with unsubstantiated hearsay claims.
Anonymous, uncorroborated hearsay presented 70 years after an event that never happened - that is your fantasy. That is your wishful thinking.
And furthermore, you are presenting this fantasy as "fact" 2000 years too late. Sorry.
