Has the claim of "Seven eyewitness accounts" been convincingly substantiated?

One of the members has repeatedly referred to his research as demonstrating that there are seven accounts by eyewitnesses to the proposed empty tomb.

Has he demonstrated to your satisfaction that:

1) The accounts are actually from eyewitnesses?

2) The stories about eyewitness accounts are true and accurate?

3) His proposals are taken seriously by scholars and theologians (or debaters on various websites)?

4) There was a tomb and it was empty?

Until you present this "Q" source for analysis, all we can reasonably conclude is that you're dividing by zero.

Do you wanna destroy the universe? 'Cause that's how you destroy the universe.

Well, yes, it's all very difficult. If it were easy, so one else would have figured it out long ago.
Sure, I'm uncertain at places. Shouldn't I be? It's not rocket science, but no one else has the answers better than I do, that's all I'm saying.

Please point to the specific parts of those posts that are the actual, non-hypothesised "Q" source.

I dare say, if one had this "Q" source, it'd be easy just to present it.

Unless they ain't got it, then we set to understand why this is so "difficult".

This isn't my primary site, and yes, I am a bit busy between finishing my third degree and being a full time military officer with a wife and 4 kids.....but everyone has lives yes? So what was it you wanted me to discuss?

My position is NO ONE who has ever written of jesus, knew him. The synoptic gospels were not written when or by whom as per christian tradition. Both of these facts are widely accepted by the vast majority of christian scholars and biblical historians, including myself. What was you point again? I guess I should reread this thread since it has been awhile.
