Jesus birthday was 17 April in the year 0006, and the star of Bethlehem was the planet Saturn!?

Question

I recently watched a spcial program that came up with that information based a a computer study. the year was off by 6 years and the only very bright star in the heavens at that time was the planet Saturn. Anybody else have anything to add to that statement, it did sound logical the way it was computed.

Answer 1

wouldn't it be easier to research when the romans had their census?

Answer 2

I have no idea when Jesus was born. But personally, I think Jesus was born sometime in early autumn (September-October) because the Bible says that the shepherds were watching their flocks by night, which the winter would have been too cold for. The Bible also says that there was no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn, which also would make sense considering that Caesar Augustus ordered a census (referred to by Luke), and a census would most likely occur after the harvest season, around September-October.
Along those same lines, it also comes down to this: Do you think that the almighty God, the Alpha and the Omega, Creator of all things, the one being not bound by time or logic or any of our physical parameters, do you think that he could be figured out by a computer program, or common sense, or logical reasoning? I'm not saying He can't be understood; I'm just pointing out that there's alot about Him that we don't/can't understand.

Answer 3

The bible is not to be interputed literally, It is mostly made up of psalms(poems) and letters, Also back then they had a differnt calender year then now in the present.
