If you take Daniel for an example, not everyone thinks it was written ~600 BC, rather than ~200 BC. The Jews don't list Daniel as one of the prophets & more liberal Christians think of it as a form of apocryphal writing (not unlike the historicist [rather than futurist] views of Revelation)
Don't paint with too broad a brush, okay?
