Why would Thomas have secret sayings of Jesus? He wasn't exactly in the inner circle.

Seriously, have you read it? It's pretty puzzling. Also, some of the sayings seem to be rudimentary versions of the stuff found in the Sermon on the Mount/Plain. I wasn't commenting on the "credibility" of the document. To me, canonicity does little to make one text more credible than another. I merely found it interesting, and said as much.
