Refutation of Jim's Gospel dating: scholars date Mark to the 50s–70s AD, and John to the 60s or 90s AD — not 170 AD; P52 papyrus (100–150 AD) proves John predates Jim's claim by decades
Mike systematically dismantles the 170 AD date for John
Citing Dan Wallace, Mike explains that the scholarly debate on John is between a 90s date (majority) and a 60s date (growing minority) — not 170 AD. The P52 papyrus (credit-card-sized fragment containing John 18:31–33) is dated 100–150 AD, which is physical evidence the Gospel of John existed before that window. No serious scholar holds the 170 AD date. Jim's information appears to be pre-20th-century scholarship that has since been overturned.
