You only address one book. The point is that the books were written by people who were in a position and time to embellish whatever accounts they gave. It'd be to their best interest to show things a particular way.
My theology-teacher in Primary-school (who was a Nun) told me that the Gospels were written years after the fact.
It's obvious...
What do you mean?
