If the evidence backed this up, sure. However, I do not believe the evidence comes even close to what you are asserting: "almost certainly" that "none" of the NT writings were by those of Jesus time. They were written later but I already stated my belief that they were still by eyewitnesses in some cases, specifically citing John (adding Matthew, with Mark and Luke talking to eyewitnesses).
I find it curious that The Bible is the most discussed book in a thread about The Koran! Nobody questions the authorship of the Koran? Would that not be more on topic?

In a forum composed chiefly by Christians, the probability of finding discussions about religious texts is probably going to be higher for the Bible, since it's the most accessible text for the majority of forum members. At any rate, I'm loving this thread because it's making me learn so much.
