These aren't multiple independent accounts. There is one account (Mark) from which the rest drew much of their material. They weren't all written at the same time.
As for the last one, John, it's fiction within fiction.
I don't think culture accounts for not writing down earth shattering things, or for earth shattering things to have gone entirely unnoticed by the powers at the time.
This is my opinion. It requires making a huge load of unfounded assumptions to get to even the non-made up stuff; and you simply can't get anywhere near the made up stuff. (Angels, miracles, resurrections etc.)
But then I doubt there are very many people who believe any of this based solely on the evidence. They would have a hard time convincing me Lord of the Rings didn't happen, using such flimsy criteria.
