JP as I stated in an earlier post you can't keep falling back on Q=Quell in German which is translated to mean source.Q is an hypothetical document and the scholars have come to that consensus basing themselves on the fact that in some passages in the synoptic gospels they are repeated verbatim in all three gospels.This according to scholars indicates that they were copying some of their material from this hypothetical Q document.You can't place a date for a document whose existence is only inferred and not proven.As with the entire N.T. we have not one single shred of original documents and are basing ourselves entirely on corrupted copies of those so called alleged books that compose the N.T.
Your biblical exegesis and hermeneutics claim is not as reliable as you believe it to be since they are trying to reconstruct ancient documents basing themselves on corrupted copies of those documents.Back then copies were hand written thus increasing the margin for error in transcription,translation etc.
This is the reason that most scholars believe in the later dates for the Gospel of Mark:

"Because of the reference to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE (Mark 13:2), most scholars believe that Mark was written some time during the war between Rome and the Jews (66-74). Most early dates fall around 65 CE and most late dates fall around 75 CE. "

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
