That's not what I'd call lot of substantive evidence.
There is no real historical evidence of his existence.
I would challenge you to produce any such evidence from
some credible, non-religious organization. There are no
Roman records, no records he ever met with Pontius Pilot,
something you'd think might be recorded, nothing of that
sort. He was a nobody at that time, and there'd be no
reason to expect anything of that sort anyway.
Josephus calls James "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ" and wrote "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure."
[Link: en.wikipedia.org]Why would there be any records of his meeting with Pilot or Caiaphas you're right to the people in power he was a nobody. They weren't the people that he came to reach out to because they didn't need anyone. Politics haven't changed.
