Star Trek is a single narrative that, I presume, is made by multiple authors. That's called collaboration.
But if four men from different backgrounds independently tried to convince me that Spock was the Christ, it would be realistic for their narratives to disagree on some points.
However, the initial caveat that you chose to ignore is that their disagreement alone does not prove the veracity of their stories.
What's funny though, is that this isn't even an issue with the Gospel writers because they weren't handing out leaflets of their work. They already were part of communities that not only had heard about Jesus, but believed that he was God incarnate. These were the people that their Gospels were addressed to.
