First, as I say, amateurs commonly sidestep question like this by inferring the writings were inaccurate. Historicians don't do this. They consider the written text to be faithful to the events themselves. While it is true that the apostles did not write the gospels in their own handwriting, it is not true that the events and the writing were separated by many many years. Jewish and Hebrew oral tradition has been shown to be reliably, stunningly accurate. And when a document is dated to have been written perhasp as early as 40 AD, that's seven years after Christ's crucifixion. If it's dated at 70 AD, that's 37 years after His death.

dates! matter! herod [the great] died in 04 BCE
if JC was born before herod died and lived 33 years
he could not live intill 33 ACE but died in 28 or 29 ACE
and NOBODY but a few thumpers date the writting of any gospel to 40 ACE most agree on post 70 ACE at the very earlyest possable and as late as 110 ACE for john
so sorry but the scholers donot belive any 7 year BS
or even 37 try over 40 minimum and thats not counting revisions or late additions
