"Evidence from the Bible and astronomy suggests that the Star of Bethlehem was a comet which was visible in 5 BC, and described in ancient Chinese records. A comet uniquely fits the description in Matthew of a star which newly appeared, which travelled slowly through the sky against the star background and which 'stood over' Bethlehem. The evidence points to Jesus being bom in the period 9 March-4 May, 5 BC, probably around Passover time: 13-27 April, 5 BC. Birth in the spring is consistent with the account in Luke that there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flock by night. Birth in 5 BC also throws light upon the problem of the census of Caesar Augustus. A new chronology of the life of Christ is given which is consistent with the available evidence. This chronology suggests that Christ died close to his 37th birthday. "

we don't declare that atheists are stupid for no longer believing in God, even even with the undeniable fact which you would be able to no longer prepare that God would not exist and have faith the international got here approximately by employing itself from no longer something. So how does a individual who dies 2000 years in the past forgive some thing that occurs 2000 years later? in case you're speaking approximately an common individual, it somewhat is ridiculous and impossible. yet Jesus Christ replaced into no common individual, he replaced into and is divine. truthfully, what does your psychological state could desire to be in to settle for that nonsense? individual who believes that God is the writer of the universe (you could no longer prepare that God would not exist) so which you're able to desire to settle for that there are people who have faith in God and have faith Jesus replaced into sent by employing God to die for our sins. trouble-free as that.

didn't ( to be clear the star of Bethlehem is a myth - even biblical scholars put it in this category as well as the three wise men - they actually say parable or allegory or some such )
