No one alive was there to verify the dates of those books.

Scholars want ot late-date almost all the books of the Bible.

They also want to assign authorship to others than those whose name appears on each book.

They want to late-date Moses' books because there is accurate prediction of the Diaspora in it. Therefore, reasons the scholar, Moses' books must have been composed after said Diaspora.

The truths of the Bible's claims are matters of faith based upon what can be known. The assumptions of late-dating scholarship are matters of faith too, based on the a priori assumption that prophecy is not actual, they'll just never 'fess up to that.

The practice of late-dating the books of the Bible can be seen as a position of faith on the part of those scholars who do so, though they will never admit it.

As an example of this hypocrisy and scholarly dishonesty, consider this...

On the one hand, to be truly "scholarly" in the eyes of academia it is practically requisite that one late-date books that contain "fulfilled prophecy", in other words since divine inspiration of these books is assumed false, then if a book seems to claim to have accurately predicted events before they occured, it will be assumed that book had been written after the events it "predicts".

However, when they find truly ancient examples in Jewish pre-Christian writings which seem to anticipate New Testament realities, they assume this demonstrates that Christianity is derivative and not the result of divine revelation.

So, if the antiquity of a book can be doubted it is doubted to invalidate the fulfilled prophecy, if the antiquity of a book is indisputable, then its revelatory nature and its fulfilled prophecy is denied in order to disprove the originality of that which came after.

We piped for you and you did not dance, we wept and you did not mourn. In this case, wisdom is truly justifed by her children.
