Richard Carrier is batshit and not taken seriously in academia, there's a reason even atheist/agnostic scholars studying religion don't even cite him or peer review his work, sorry retards. He supposes John couldn't live to his 80s-90s, he's fooled by the statistical average heavily factored by how prevalent it was for a baby/child's early death, as proof nobody lived until their 80s-90s, when in reality, once you pass the filter of infancy, people in antiquity lived to live really long lives.
It was really common for people in that century to live a long elderly life.

His whole argument falls apart like a house of cards after this.
