I'm wrong yet you repeat exactly what I claimed from the start? I said that none of the Gospels, insofar as we might be able to evaluate authorship, appear prior to the second century.

You said "at least the second century" we have direct quotes from them at the very start of the second century. They therefore show up then at the latest.
