I don't see what my, or anyone else's, uninformed opinion has to do with the historical facts of when this document was first written. A poll seems a poor choice for such a question.

I'm of the opinion that Papias' Mark/Matthew "sayings" is actually "Q", and split between our current Mark being finished either sometime around the destruction of the 2nd Temple or the Bar-Kochba revolt.

It has nothing to do with it. I was curious to see what the board is working with. No one is going to change their mind on account of this poll.

I'll be posting my indisputable evidence for the date of Mark I voted for soon....

I lean towards bar-Kochba era, but as far as the original Christ myth I would guess earlier, after 70
