None of which alters the fact that "Luke's" vision is historically absurd, economically unfeasible, geographically insane and politically mind-numbing!
If it was so absurd, why did people bother copying it and passing it around?
We see it as absurd. Christians, at the time, did not. But that's to be expected, given that it was hard to verify/falsify the contents of the manuscripts (especially in the absence of today's technology) since they were written decades after the fact, being circulated to people separated from the events described in the Gospels due to geographical and/or time distances.
