about biblical scholarship. (Well, you guys started it!)
Although a lot of amateur theologians have spent a great deal of effort
trying to find astronomical events correlating to those mentioned in the NT,
most serious scripture scholars believe that the events recounted in the
infancy narratives of MT and LK are not historical (the census, the star of
Bethlehem, the visit of the wise ones, the massacre of the innocents, etc.)
but allegorical. There is plenty written about this.
