Do you really want to argue that.
Let's just cut to the chase.
The 12 Apostles of Jesus. 12 men that knew the absolute truth about the cosmos in person per se. Only 4 Gospels deemed worthy enough came out of that. Now how did illiterate fishermen and the like even produce these writings? Well.. They didn't. Church tradition labelled the four canonical Gospels after some of the Apostles but no one actually knows who wrote them.
Knowing that it wasn't witnesses means all we are reading is hearsay. That isn't useful at all. It's like being charged for a murder you didn't commit but you're found guilty because the evidence was that someone heard you did it. No witnesses, just word of mouth. This is what the NT is basing the existence of Jesus on.
