I doubt that folks in Jesus’ day knew what the term “evidentiary scale” even meant. It is absurd to apply 21st century standards of evidence in criminal matters to 1st century events that weren’t even criminal in nature. .
Actually Xtians claim Jesus was murdered so it is criminal in nature.
And thankfully today we have established evidentiary standards to
test claims of evidence for alleged murder and alleged resurrection
be it last week or two millennia ago.
But I understand why Xtian apologists would not like being under such
stringent scrutiny.
But there’s good evidence that Jesus was here, and that He was raised from the dead..
You are correct there is plenty of proof and much more,
Sources from antiquity are not proof, they don't even meet the required minimum
on the evidentiary scale..At best you have flimsy claim anonymous writings from
non-witnesses. Applying xtian apologetic standards to the evidence does not meet
the burden of proof std. required in law.

*not* be used to support the resurrection of Jesus."
