Even the religions will admit that while some of the bible was LATER attributed to some of the supposed Apostles - even they know that it would be highly unlikely - even if they actually were real.
You say we have no idea who wrote virtually all if the original texts. Who are "we"? We have a very good idea who wrote most of the bible. And you know that christians know that it would be highly unlikely that the supposed authors are really the authors? Thanks for clearing that up for me.
