By that logic, none of the Apostles saw Jesus ascend into heaven. We only have Luke applying hearsay dozens of years after the fact.Very poor analogy. The Apostles lived and experienced the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Apostles lived and experienced the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unless you are speaking in the spiritual sense, that is not true. Paul and Luke did not become Apostles until years after the Resurrection.

Very poor analogy. The Apostles lived and experienced the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ So why didn't they write about the Ascension in their letters? The letters long pre-date the Gospels. We have to rely on the hearsay of Luke dozens of years after the fact, and no eyewitness account. If, in your estimation, proximity is truth, your logic makes Luke's Gospel especially specious.
