St. Paul wrote at least three of his epistles within 20 years of the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Gospel According to Mark was completed and circulated well before the year 70, when the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, which would make it less than 40 years after the year 33, which is the year Jesus died. Irinaeus wrote to his followers near the end of the first century, detailing eyewitness accounts of the events of Jesus' life. Our contemporary accounts of World War I are not lies, and yet you assume all these people are lying. For what reason? Because you choose to not believe it?
