R-tard... I did not say he was alive. I simply asked when did the secular historean count the census. the day the census was issued or the day it was complete. Why? because as I understand it a census like that one could take years to start, record compile and complete.
Herod died in 6 BC quirinius took power in 4 bc. If Herod issued the proclamation for the census before his death and was not completed till the new legit took over, then who do you think gets the credit?
For the Jews it would be the man who started it.
For the gentiles it would be the man who saw it through.
Luke was a gentile as was most of rome back then.
Read his bio, love:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirinius
He got his governorship in 6 AD; Herod had been dead for 10 years.
The author of Luke got his facts wrong.
