Questioning the Origins and Reliability of Biblical Accounts

The discussion delves into the origins and reliability of Biblical accounts, including the relationship between miracles and history. The reliability of the Bible is not solely based on miracles, but a broader examination of when and by whom the accounts were written, factors casting doubt on their veracity, and clues suggesting historical reliability. The Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not the only ones, as acknowledged by Luke, who mentioned other written accounts before him. The discussion explores the diversity of accounts, the credibility of eyewitnesses, and the complexity of historical narratives.
