Are you implying they don't give a hoot about historical facts? Wouldn't some of them write about it because it happened?
They care about as much as our historians do of our history today.
They as our historians recorded and perserved what they wanted us to hear and believe.
I didn't know until recently that we had 22 African American Republicans elected to congress prior to 1890 and one became speaker of the house.
If our history can be erased in a hundred and 30 years why would I believe that the Jews would keep a good record of an event they denied happened?
Luke is considered a creditable historian by most scholars. Archaeologist Sir William Ramsay says of Luke, "he should be placed along with the very greatest of historians."
This historian recorded that a virgin named Mary would have a son whose name would be Jesus.
He recorded that the child was born and named Jesus.
He recorded many people being healed of many different ailments.
He recorded the death of Jesus.
He recorded the women found an empty tomb.
He recorded of two men meeting Jesus and inviting Him to dinner not knowing who He was and during the meal they realized who He was. This was after His resurrectrion.
He recorded Jesus stood in the midst of the disciples after His resurrection.
He recorded that they were terrified at this sight.
He recorded that Jesus showed them His hands and feet and they were satisfied after He had eaten a piece of broiled fish.
He recorded Jesus saying unto them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:"
In Luke 3:1 Luke refers to Lysanias being the tetrarch of Abilene in about A.D. 27. This has been held out to be bad information.
Archaeology stepped in finding an inscription from the time of Tiberius, from A.D. 14 to 37, which names Lysanias as tetrarch in Abila.
Luke referenced 32 countries, 54 cities, and nine islands correctly.
So at least one historian has recorded Jesus death, burial, and resurrection as well as His healing of different people of different problems.
So Archaeology bears out that many things recorded in the Bible is true and that Luke was factual.
Whether you believe it or not is your problem.
