What solid evidence? http://coldcasechristianity.com/2014/is-there-any-evidence-for-jesus-outside-the-bible/

I also feel that the fact that Jews (you know those guys who've maintained their own history free of the bias of Christianity) have never claimed that Jesus wasn't a real figure is a excellent factor. Palestine was the birth place of Christianity, the centre of the early church. Oh and it was the centre of Judaism. Now if a guy goes around Jerusalem saying "listen up this lad, called Jesus was crucified by the romans a few years ago, and guess what, he came back from the dead" do you honestly think that anybody would believe him? Instead the Jews at the time claimed that he was a sorcerer and that his disciples stole the body, but that the Jewish authorities got it back. Now do you see a problem with that particular claim? If they had the body then why'd they not use it to disprove the resurrection? (There's also the problem of the apostles also preferring to die painfully rather than confessing to stealing Jesus' body, which would have killed Christianity )

As for the miracle of the Sun stuff, can you explain how no observatories observed any particularly interesting stuff going on that day? How thousands of atheists had enough faith to see a miracle that they (though that they) knew wasn't going to happen? And how people report see the miracle as soon as they looked at the Sun? ( the staring too long at the Sun thing takes like ten seconds to kick in)
