Matthew says the apostles never saw him in Jerusalem, but met him in Galilee, 80 miles away, three days travel. No resurrection is noted. Mark, Acts and John have yet different tall tales. These cannot be factual, not from eyewitnesses.The infant narratives of Matthew and Luke are contradictory. The Gospels obviously have no truth in them, no more than the myths of Hercules or the tall tales of Appollianas of Tyanna.
Woah woah woah.... slow your roll there Charlie! That's easily 320 pages down the line! We still have at least 100 pages of Steve asserting that Hearsay is evidence despite it having nothing to do with his original point before we get to what the "eyewitnesses" are actually saying and how they don't say the same thing and how that serves the reliability of the claims.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
