Who Wrote the letter to the Romans?

Did the Apostle Paul write the book of Romans or did someone else? In many Bibles the Title of the book of Romans says, “The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans”

~Versus~

Romans 16:22 “I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle.…”
______________________________________________
Nelsons New Illustrated Bible Dictionary says that Tertius was “the scribe or secretary to whom the apostle Paul dictated his letter to the Romans.

Smith’s Bible Dictionary says that Tertuis was “probably a Roman, was the amanuensis [assistant] of Paul in writing the Epistle to the Romans (A.D. 55).”

New Nave’s Topical Bible says that Tertuis was “Paul’s amanuensis [copyist] in writing the book of Romans.”

Easton’s Bible Dictionary says that Tertuis was “{the third}, a Roman Christian whom Paul employed as his amanuensis in writing his epistle to the Romans.”

I really hate to be sarcastic but why am I doing all the research for these Atheists? If Atheists really wanted the answers to these questions then they would find them. They simply have to put in a little effort to find the answers for themselves. If they truly wanted to find the truth about the bible, all they have to do it seek it!

Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. (NLT).”
