That’s no different than saying, “Nobody today can write accurately about the presidency of Ronald Reagan because it happened so long ago.”

Those two statements are literally the same.

The Gospel of Mark (for example) was written closer to Jesus’ time than we are to the time of Reagan’s presidency.

I don't recall the "Mark" including foot notes and a bibliography.

Heck, the text doesn't even include the authors name.

To say a modern historical work on Reagan, who only died 20 years ago is equivalent to Mark is not justified.

Heck, Mark doesn't even meet the standards of historical texts of the time.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
