-Very few people could write at that time, maybe in Jerusalem no such person was present that chose to record it. Even then, the written words of a single person, like a diary, is easily lost.
-It might have been destroyed by the romans/high priests to get rid of evidence for the troublemaker that Jesus was.
-It might have been lost in the 2000 years between then and now !
There is not evidence for everything. Some things just dont have several sources of evidence to back them up.
You keep telling yourself that mate, but the truth of the matter is bronze age Palestine was remarkably well documented for the time, there are records of dozens of rather unremarkable street preachers and self proclaimed messiahs at the time but absolutely no historical record of the existence of Jesus - despite the fact that his miracles and ministry are claimed to have been widely known throughout the region.
Tell me this, considering you admit to the complete lack of evidence, why the hell do you give this book any merit? You can't establish the truth of any of it yet you hold positive belief... That is just plain stupid.
