Proved by van Manen?

From another recent Thread ---
This poster appears to have a relatively deep well of information from which to draw. However, mostly all this poster provides are cheap, lazy assertions like the one cited above.
Van Manen has not proven that the 5 extant letters of Paul addressed to his 4 groups are "late forgery" (Galatians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, and 1 Thessalonians). Van Manen has merely provided his arguments, opinions, and interpretations of the evidence at hand. That you would accept van Manen's opinions as constituting proof, demonstrates a deficit in critical thinking on your part.
What specific arguments of van Manen have convinced you (schillingklaus) that the letters of Paul are late forgeries?
This poster often characterizes those that he/she disagrees with as infantile, ignorant, living a fantasy, uncritical, hallucinating, or some such; and he/she seems to asociate with some special group of excessively few critical thinkers with deeper insights.schillingklaus wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 7:06 am
Paul's falsely so-called epistles are late forgery, as already proved by van Manen.
