Tacitus simply was not alive during the supposed era of the christ - so he is not at all proof of anything but something he was TOLD.
His mentioning the christ is no more proof of existence than would be his mentioning of Jupiter or Hercules
In fact - both Josephus and Tacitus mention Hercules in their writings
To claim that a person who was not born or lived during the supposed time of the christ is proof of existence is nonsense -it only proves the story at most.
The fact is - the story of the christ has too many contradictions and inconsistencies to be real. At most - there might have been a human jewish heretic upon which that MYTH is based - but the claims of the christ in the bible have NO basis in proven fact.
