OK, tell me how Paul knew that 500 people saw Christ after his resurrection. He wasn’t there. It’s not in any Gospel. So how did Paul know?

Face to face communication, of course. Holy Tradition is what it is called.

That is only a presumption. Paul doesn't tell us how he knew and for Catholics to include detail like that is adding to the word of God.

Simply because Scripture doesn't tell us how Paul knew does not give anyone license to make stuff up as they go along and proclaim it as truth.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
