Sorry, it doesn't wash. The first gospels were written decades after these alleged events...all of the eye-witnesses would have long since died. Timelines get screwed up, either accidentally or deliberately. Your evidence is heresay...inadmissible.
Two of the eyewitnesses (Matthew and John) wrote two of the accounts... long since dead, huh?
Matthew's gospel was written about 35-40 years after the fact. However, Matthew had been preaching about the events for decades prior to that. Besides, it's not like you would forget the public execution and subsequent resurrection of someone that close to you.
And if you are so sure that the timelines are screwed up, I'm sure you have the correct ones?
Sorry, Bully, I am going to listen to the people who were there, not someone second-guessing it 2000 years later.
