They as our historians recorded and perserved what they wanted us to hear and believe.
You must be referring to the Texas Board of Education. That is the only group that I can think of in America that is trying to skew history and hide things from children.
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?
If you know about it, how was it erased? On top of that, how is your ignorance anything more than validity of your ignorance?
Luke is considered a creditable historian by most scholars.
Forgoing the validity of this statement, I will ask you this: was "Luke" there? Was the author of "Luke" even named Luke? You seem to not want to address the fact that what we are after is someone who WITNESSED jesus christ in the flesh. No one did. Or if they did, they didn't think he was worthy of documentation.
Did "Luke" report on the events? Or did he re-tell them? Better yet, did he just copy what someone else wrote?
So Archaeology bears out that many things recorded in the Bible is true and that Luke was factual.
Like Coyote said, Archeology has done a lot more that you don't accept, so it's extremely dishonest for you to all of a sudden accept the field of science just because you claim it proves your beliefs.
"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"
