To be the devil's advocate for a moment: None of them contemporaries. 
Several of them possibly pseudonymous, and the authorship of any of them 
is unprovable. The last two at least extant only in much later MSS with 
clear Christian interpolation.

So what makes these better evidence than that of nearly every Hebrew 
Bible book that Abraham and Moses existed?
