You just keep endlessly repeating a few undeveloped ideas about Eusebius being fiction, but you never get beyond that.

If Eusebius is reliable, then we might in fact not have any sources for much of early Christian history, which will forever be unknown. I can live with that.
The question is whether you can live with the possibility
and the discussion of the possibility that there is in fact
no christian history before the fourth century Eusebius.

That "christian history" prior to the 4th century is not
simply of "unknown value", but that is of null value
(ie: an empty set) and that Eusebius was one of the
very first "christians" to set foot on this planet earth.

The OP was "How do we reject Eusebius?
A bit at a time or all at once? "

How long have BC&H scholars and academics enjoyed
the rejection of Eusebius a little bit at a time?

When can we expect someone to take a stand
against this Eusebius?
