The scholars you listen to are not believers, you believe what Ehrman has to say now don't you. We have copies of the gospels from the second century so when where the originals written, the first century. That would be the time of the disciples. Like you said those people have opinions and opinions are not facts and many opinions are not worth the paper they were written on. Most people in this world that know of Shakespeare believe that the writings we have are originals, nope they are not, not only that there is great doubt that the man that wrote those plays is of the name Shakespeare.
