True enough, the last half chapter of Deuteronomy was indeed written by Joshua. I didn’t expect we were splitting hairs.
The first five books are called the books of Moses, he wrote them, except the last bit, and again, biblical scholars all agree on this, even the non-believing ones. It is not a controversy nor a conundrum.
What evidence is there that the last half chapter of Deuteronomy was written by Joshua? I'm not expecting you to produce a sworn affadavit or anything, but some crumb of actual, verifiable proof would be much appreciated!

You made a sweeping statement-of-fact which was patently false. This is very disheartening to laypersons like myself who are trying valiantly to take your arguments seriously. There is simply no need to make hasty overgeneralizations like "Moses wrote the Pentateuch." That is a disservice to your cause.
