what matters is evidence. what evidence is there that the anonymous gospel were written by the authors claimed by Christian tradition?

One could contend that superficially, but on examination it would be discovered to be inaccurate.
> one could contend that you would rather die a thousand deaths than side against conservatives.
One could contend that, yes, but investigation would prove otherwise.
> one could contend that you are biased for the Bible.
One could contend that, yes, but it's a fallacy of Argumentum ad Hominem.
> one could contend that you only consider evidence that supports your conclusion.
One can contend anything one wishes. Truth is found, however, in actual work and not false assumptions.
> what matters is evidence. what evidence is there that the anonymous gospel were written by the authors claimed by Christian tradition?
The evidence is more abundant for the traditional authors than for any other explanation. There is too much material for one post to discuss all 4 Gospels at once. Which would you like to discuss?
