Considering the earliest extent Gospel of John is the closest we have to the original work (which has long since been lost), and the story does not appear in that work, then it's obvious it wasn't in the original. It was added in by a later scribe, which means the current Gospel cannot, by definition, be the Word of God.
Believe it or don't. It matters not to me. Just don't expect anyone else to accept your position without question.

It appears that you have twisted the meaning of the word "appear". How about if he had written:
The story of the woman caught in adultry does not appear IS NOT in the earliest extent versions of the Gospel and appears to have been added sometime around the 4th century.

Appearances It appears that your "soft tissue" is not soft tissue. At least that is what appears in your link.
