No, it's the Gospels. The primary source for the Gallic Wars is Caesar himself. The Gospels have several sources who clearly did not collaborate or agree on everything.

Which had statues made from life? Caesar.

How about shrouds :-) And why would a statue of Caesar make authenticate his writing?

Which was written at the time, not decades later? Caesar.

The first books of the New Testament were written by eyewitnesses to the events possibly less that two decades after the crucifixion.

Which did not claim miracles, but merely mundane events? Caesar.

Caesar was writing about mundane events, not miracles. Why discount miracles?
