One of us must be using a different form of math - I take 66 AD, subtract 33 AD and get a mere 33 years

You can try to push out mathew to 110 but it gets kinda tough....if there is that much of a gap between mark and mathew why do we have lots of mathean quotes in the early church and virtually none from mark? Kinda stretches credulity, for me at least.

I feel that if Mark really did enjoy a lengthy period as the of extant gospel it should have acquired a sort of prominence.

33AD?! You can substract zero. No one believes that the event of the gospel happens in 33AD apart from Colin Humphreys and his arguments are completely bogus.

Can you elaborate on this? I had no idea that a date of roughly 33AD was controversial, and Wikipedia seems to say that the consensus is that 30AD or 33AD are when the later events of the gospels occurred.

When I google Colin Humphreys, he seems to be a physicist who dabbles in bible studies. According to Wikipedia, his argument was that the Last Supper occurred on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday, not that he disagreed with anyone about the year.
