Where are the remains of Jesus of Nazareth?

I haven't found that to be the case. Ignorance of basic ecological processes is chronic among my people, partly due to it not being a major part of educational curriculum, and also due to disconnection with the land and with life.
If that's all you see, you've been doing some rather selective reading of people's responses.
What typically happened to the bodies of those crucified during the Roman occupation of Palestine in the 1st century?

For me personally I don't believe in the man Jesus that is written about in the bible, so no bones.

Well that supposes that Jesus died on the Cross, which he didn't, so one should search for his remains or one should search where he went afterwards.

where is Mohhameds(pbuh)body
Are you really going to argue that the lack of a specific, long-dead person's remains from over two-thousand years ago is a compelling argument for their bodily resurrection? This leads to rather obvious absurdity which I'm sure you well see.
I believe in the resurrection but not on the basis of such desperate argumentation. It's rare for remains to last for any prolonged amount of time, it requires specific conditions. Furthermore, why would the Romans have keep track of Jesus' body assuming for augment it had not resurrected?

Wait? Where are all the bodies of all of them? We don't have them, so they all must've resurrected from the dead. No one can dispute that fact. We don't have them, so they must be alive now.

Well the Gospels tell us that the last people to have custody of the remains of Jesus were Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus... there was time between the "burial" and when temple guards were set over the tomb and when His female followers were going to the tomb. Mary Magdalene announced the remains of Jesus were moved... The disciples didn't appear to check with Joseph of Arimathea to confirm where the remains were.. My guess is they were hidden by Joseph in a secure place where they would not be molested. The story is very similar to the martyrdom of Siyyid Ali Muhammad the Bab.. After He was martyred His remains were thrown into a mote outside the city of Tabriz. His followers secreted them and hid them for forty years moving them from place to placeuntil they were placed in the Shrine of the Bab on Mount Carmel.
With the destruction of Jerusalem in 71 CE and the diaspora of the Jews including Jewish Christians it would be impossible to tell where the remains were..

Wrong. The Israelis are very, very good at record keeping concerning who descended from whom. One could very easily check the DNA from Mary's line to compare to whatever was supposedly the remains of Jesus.
All the evidence we have is equally consistent with:
- his decomposed remains are somewhere in Judea.
The evidence fits slightly worse (but still decently) with:
- his remains aren't anywhere because he didn't literally exist.
What?!?
You think that "the Israelis" have "DNA from Mary's line" on file somewhere?

No, but they do have records that indicate who are Mary's descendants. The DNA can be obtained from them.
Having a DNA profile on the mother of God would seem a difficult secret to keep.

You think they have the genetic information of every 1st-century peasant and every single one of their descendants on demand?
