A Mathematical Analysis of the Star of Bethlehem

And did you know that Adam and Eve had belly buttons, THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE FIRST MAN AND WOMAN!

There! Take that! I showed all you silly people how stupid your beliefs are!

Or, OP, perhaps you are missing the point? Just a thought.

You're assuming that it was a star and not something specific in the sky leading them there.

the 'Maji' or Mystics of ancient Babylon/Chaldea/ etc. seen an Astronomy alignment or conjunction of importance... they consulted the Astrologers who determined that conjunction of Stars-Planets was a 'Sign' that the Mystical, Kaballist Jews predicted would tell the scholars that a Future King of the Jews is now in the World...

((I think I recall that the constellation Leo is associated with the Tribe of Judah (Lion of Judah) and the 'Sign' was the double conjunction of Saturn with the Star Regulus and maybe also Jupiter is in the mix...))that is the Astronomy side of the Star/Sign the Astrology interpretation is the Star Regulus or whatever and the 'traveling star: Saturn aka the King sign in Astrology... the 9 month to 18 month travel time from first sighting the 'Star to the Maji arrival was not all accomplished with the Star shining in the night sky the whole time...the momentary conjunction alerted the Maji to start their pilgrimage to see the future King of the Jews...see: www.bing.com... ion+leo&sk=LS1&sc=8-17&cvid=fc2ca80d55de4649d1a19cf782ac00b0&cc=US&setlang=en-US))


that is why the Maji went to Provincial Governor Herod, then to consult with the learned men, scholars. Astrologers in Herod's administration of Judea & Jerusalem to seek affirmation from Jewish Mystics with knowledge of prophecy, Torah & other mystical scriptures & that's how they found out about the small village of Bethlehem in Judea


I think the Maji seen the 'Star''Sign''Conjunction' in about May of ~4 BC then traveled to Herod and then to Bethlehem by September of 3 BC where the Maji gifted Joseph & family the valuable items that would sustain their flight-to-safety from Herod for a time period of years

Why not? ....nothing is impossible for God.

I would take the gold.

How does one mathematically analyse a mythical/allegorical light in the sky 2000 years after the event?

The whole thing is just a made-up story by a bunch of goat-f*ckers anyway. Why check their math?

I see our new member is from the loving and tolerant left... lol

I highly doubt that. Most fairies are socialist athiests

Seems like what ever that person is doing, they are really into it. In a big way. Maybe get a room.
