2. The fact there were churches across the Roman empire with 20 years of Jesus' death
3. The fact that the gospel writers (still within the lifetime of eyewitnesses) seemed to have even earlier writings available to them (putting those writings even closer to the actual dates.)
4. The fact that we have late first century and second century writers who believed and referred to both the earlier documents, people, and events.
Why are you assuming that these documents are unbiased and thus objectively truthful? These people were trying to build and spread a religion, correct?
