The Diamond Sutra in particular is said to be a conversation of the Buddha. For reference, under the society tab to the left, you can find religious texts transcribed to text files here on totse.
The point here is that it doesn't matter. I could write down my eye witness account of a psychic, it doesn't make it automatically true. Belief in some one's words doesn't make them true. You have to trust that they aren't lying, or that their perception of the events is correct.

What miracles are you thinking of and who were the witness? I will check out the tab you mentioned - Thanks!
What is wrong with relying on the eyewitness testimonies that are in the Bible? What evidence is there that what they said is a lie or incorrect? What did they have to gain by lying? In reality, all but one apostle was put to death for their belief and preaching of the mircles of Jesus Christ. Did they not really believe what they saw or did they die for what they thought could have been a lie? I doubt it!
