He gets some of the details about radiometric dating wrong (which he freely admits), but the principles are sound. Discussion of the most relevant part is in the second half of the video.

But the giant "M" is a "representation" and a "spokesman," like it is in Hebrew.
This is a folk etymology. It ignores the actual origin of the term, where a single block of type (a logotype) was used for some whole words in early printing presses instead of using separate letter blocks which led to words represented by symbols in typography, and instead draws a superficial similarity between the Hebrew term for ‘representative’ and contorts it into a sense of ‘representation’ in reference to the modern use of logos.

The English word "logo" was shaped by the Hebrew usage, not the Greek.
This is simply wrong. The English word ‘logo’ (originally as ‘logotype’) is derived from the Greek word ‘logos’, from the plain sense of its meaning of ‘word’, wherein a logo is representative of a name or word. The etymology of the term as it relates to typography is well documented, and there was never an intent that logos serve as ‘messengers’ when the term was coined.

In fact, the Greek word does not mean the same thing the Hebrew word means.
There was some shifting of the goal posts in that response (not quoted in entirety here for brevity). I referred to the concept of ‘logos’ as used in Wisdom and John 1:1 (and I don’t need a tedious lecture about the word ‘logo’), so your abstraction abbot earlier periods was a misrepresentation of my comment. The fact remains that the earlier concepts were later conflated with the Greek Logos concept.

If John was not the author of his book, where is the testimony of the early church pastors claiming fraud? In fact, , they claimed John was the author:
🤦♂️ For much the same reason that the authenticity of Hebrews was in question for many years before being complicity accepted as a ‘genuine’ work of Paul. They teach ‘traditions of men’ as ‘doctrine’.

All of these things were denied by "experts" at one ime or another.
Roundness of the earth
The earth floating in space
conservation of energy - Eccl, 3: 14
"Cords" of Pleiades and Orion (gravitationally bound star groups) Eccl 1: 9
Uncountable number of stars
You can count the visible stars, around 10,000. But you don't live long enough to count the trillions of stars that we now know are there.
Expansion of the universe
God stretches out the heavens - (present tense)Those are tedious cherry picked ad hoc reinterpretations rather than any kind of demonstration of knowledge at the time of writing.

I dismiss the idea that ‘Jesus was Satan’ as nonsense because ‘satan’ was only a generic concept of ‘an opposer’ in Judaism and ‘the devil’ is a fictional character introduced into Judaism and Christianity from the Persians.
As for your simplistic belief that the gospels aren’t anonymous, you’re at odds with mainstream scholarship (including Christian scholarship) so i don’t care. Authorship of ‘John’ wasn’t attributed to him until the late 2nd century.
