Since none of us here was alive then to know for sure, we must examine two things.
1.) Who decided the 96 AD writing and why was it accepted.
2.) Does the Bible demand an early (65 AD) or a later (96AD)
We should not accept or reject a notion based on the percent of people that believe it, because often times the majority is incorrect. Case in point...the trinity.
Lord bless.

Well said, yet most traditions are what has be accepted, and what is accepted is what whose in power propagate, many times at the point of the sword.
