From an FB post (though slightly altered):
I think that the gospels are reliable sources. The main reason I think this is due to their authorships and dates:
see

and finally, vids,
Matthew

Mark

Luke (and Acts)

John

Miscellaneous argument
-It may be argued (although I am not so sure it is ever argued) that since the gospels claim that miracles occurred, they would not be eyewitness accounts and would also be unreliable. Aside from begging the question of miracles in the first place, this fails to account for the fact that we do have people who claim to see miracles.
(e.g. http://danielkolenda.com/2013/12/14/4430/ ). Note: I am not arguing for the actual occurrences of these events, just that people can and do claim to see them.
If you think that the Gospels are Late documents or not by the Apostles (or both), why do you think so? What are the arguments in favor of your position?
