What a silly statement.
BTW, the eye-witness accounts all differ and were delivered decades after the fact, relying completely on hearsay evidence. Any assistant prosecutor fresh out of a piddling law school could poke holes in that story. . . .

That's an interesting article but how does your source explain how life occurs?
The Southern Man considers your use of the term "silly" with respect his intellectual argument as condescending and therefore insulting, and hereby requests that you refrain from its further use, unless you wish to work your way out of an intelligent conversation.
Eye witness accounts frequently differ in details. If they were exactly the same then that would be evidence of conspiracy.
You have a valid point about the timeline in contemporary terms but when you delve further into the contextual history the delay in the written record makes perfect sense. The traditions of the Aramaic language dictate that the testimonies be accurately circulated orally. The Old Testament, including such mundane facts as census data, survived intact for generations in this way. It wasn’t until Greek scholars learned of Christ, sought out the apostles, became students of them and wrote down the testimony did the written Gospels come to be.
