1. John the Baptist is a different character to John the Apostle. No one has ever suggested that he wrote the Gospel of John.
2. It is not signed with the author's name - a fact you're either unaware of or you have ignored in favour of your straw man.
3. You didn't bother saying a thing on the evidence of John's authorship - the evidence being that John doesn't use his name, but rather consistently uses the phrase "the disciple whom Jesus loved" to describe himself.
Why do you think having expertise in the bible makes any of it true or should cause anyone to think there is a supernatural god who created everything? It's all bull shit. No matter how hard you study the bible and know it's history, there is still no god.
