There was a lot of controversy back then as well and not everyone believed either. This debate you may say has been going on pretty much since then.
Just look at more recent history such as 9/11 and the JFK assissination. Those were both well documented and also recorded events but yet there is no shortage of controversy or conspiracy theories surrounding them either. Human nature it appears is constant and hasn't changed much over the last 2000 years.

The question is why
What is constant is people trying to make money or even get power with their various controversies,conspiracies and factual innacracies of history. That hasn't changed much in 2000 years.
Perhaps that is the part of human nature that is constant and shows me that the Bible was written under the same motives.
