Re: The Gospels are Eye Witness Testimony -

Well, let's just take a little look at that.
Luke 1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word.
In other words, by Luke's own admission he is not an eyewitness. What he did was talk to eyewitnesses, making his gospel a secondary source rather than a primary source.
You also seem to make the mistake of thinking that a secondary source is less reliable than a primary source which is not necessarily true, for example a primary source may be propaganda which would mean a level of disgression would need to be applied when using it.
