When did Luke write his Gospel
#15
We don't really know that for a fact. The claim for a late date of any piece of literature is the lack of any extant manuscripts from an earlier date, which is an argument from silence. Nobody on any side of the argument believe the autographs still exist, so everything we have is a copy of an earlier original. The debate is over how much earlier, and modern scholars tend to take a skeptical approach and just say "it certainly could not have been any later than this date" but don't try and guess beyond that.

The same people making this argument, that "Yeshua could not have predicted events 40 years in his future, thus the books were written post-AD70" are the same people who believe that Yeshua didn't really walk on water, or heal the blind, or rise from the dead. These are the "religious" scholars of today, they automatically doubt the authenticity of any recorded miracle.
