The authors who wrote the new testament died for their eyewitness testimony. What I was trying to say is that no one dies for a lie if they know its a lie. This is strong evidence for the bible and fulfilled prophecies by Jesus from the old testament. You can twist your testicles into a pretzel to explain this away.
Considering that we still don't know who wrote the gospels, that they're anonymously authored, you certainly don't know that they were eyewitnesses. In fact, if you actually, you know, read the gospels, none of the authors even make the claim that they were eyewitnesses, so you're kinda just factually wrong here. My testicles remain un-pretzeled.
