Assuming it is meant to be taken literally, why does it not agree with written history by creating its own?
In Luke 2, it describes Cyrenius being governor of Syria at the time of Jesus' birth. Even with accounting for the miscalculation of what year he was born, there was no governor by that name during that period.
Also, when Herod was threatened by Jesus' birth, he killed off every single baby boy under age 2. Secular history should have a record of that since it would have been a major event, but yet it wasn't. Yet centuries later, there would be a Christmas song written mentioning this same king wanting to worship him?
When Jesus died, one of the events that occured in the Bible was zombies walking the streets. Why is there no written record of that? Surely that is not an everyday occurance and someone would thought it strange and recorded it for posterity.
Pontius Pilate did not have the authority to allow the Jews to make any decision regarding Jesus' fate.
