Honestly, I don't understand why this argument is used. From my understanding, the gospels spread by word of mouth for at least 20+ years before being written down. And then mark was written down, which the others are based off of. So isn't the real reason they are unreliable due to them being circulated by conversation for over 20 years?
Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm happy to be educated.

It's just that, the reason they are unreliable isn't relevant. The point is that they are unreliable. It doesn't disprove god, just proves the bible is unreliable.
