I know this must smell of a troll and I get accused of it alot, I'm actually just looking for answers, I really thought this community could maybe poke holes in my theories but I have obviously hit a nail with this dating method of the NT, b/c one guy said earlier, "That's not when they were written"....well we know when they were written.
I read that they used carbon dating and radioisotope dating on the NT, and that there are manuscripts from that tiem

Also we do know when they were written b/c of carbon dating and other scientific dating as well as manuscripts at the time, otherwise how could we know? They say new testament was about 80 years AD or some shit like that, maybe less if I'm remembering correctly, still not sure who wrote it probably. Explain to me your theory of how it was written and let's see you debunk carbon dating, bam! I just won this and tuned this whole site into believers!
It's not carbon dating that is used to determine time when Gospels were written but other things, like what is written and how it's written. The oldest physical Gospels manuscripts are Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Siniaticus and they are dated to the early-to-mid fourth century CE.
