Slaughter of Innocence (No Proof)

Many people rebute the slaughter of innocence, telling others, there is no proof  "all these children" were killed. It's come to light these guys may be living in a bit of a fantasy land. It's as if they're wondering where the proof of the million slaughtered children are. This is a foolish deception to stumble people, and I'd like to lift the fog a little. It's quite important to do, and quite nonsensical to be hung up on this, as I once was.

Matthew 2:16
¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

Here, is where people get fetched up in their think, and looking for evidence. 

The birth rate in the middle east is roughly 35-50 children per 1,000 people. The population of Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth was only about 1,000 people. This is the year 2016, over 2000 years later.

One would be looking for only 50 graves, out of the 1000+ that would exist based on normal infant mortality rate. The chance of proving, or disproving, such an event is highly unlikely, without searching every grave.

I suspect the need to do so either way is quite trivial. 

I have no reason to believe the apostles lied when they gave an account of this event.

We shouldn't be worrying about, nor looking for the mass grave of a million babies. Clear your mind, and breath. The total death count, most likely, was around 20-50 children, or even less.
