I heard him discuss this point on Infidel Guy Radio. He's really snotty about this topic. When Finley tried to nail him down on what convinces him, Ehrman accused him of being a myther (which Finley is not, he's said he believes a historical Jesus existed, but was just trying to get Ehrman to answer the question).
EDIT TO ADD: I wonder what the criteria for "competency" is for Bible scholars?
