Thank goodness the world does not have to rely on your driving curiosity for progress.
Ha! You're right about that!
But you didn't ask me if I was curious about the vagueness (I am curious about it). You asked if it bothered me. It doesn't.
If Jesus actually died and rose from the dead as the Gospels and Christians claim, then whether it happened in 30 ad or 33 ad is accidental to the import of the claim. I'd be curious about which year it actually happened, but knowledge of the exact year wouldn't be necessary for the meaning of the events reported. Not knowing the exact year wouldn't bother me.
