The authorship of John has always been known by the church.

Noted historian Phillip Schaff says, "The external proof of the Johannean authorship is as strong, yea stronger than that of the genuineness of any classical writer of antiquity, and goes up to the very beginning of the second century, within hailing distance of the living John. It includes Catholic writers, heretics, and heathen enemies."

Is your goal here to discredit the scriptures an attempt to live out your signature line -- "there's a serpent in every paradise?"
