In any event, let's just cite what the bible actually says. From Matthew...
Any mention of two years travelling? Nope. Couple that with them travelling by camel, you get a range of some seven thousand miles which is absurd. They could have come from Japan or the US at that rate. The two year thing is entirely made-up crap post facto.
Well let's compare with what Mark, Luke and John claim about that. Maybe there is some corroboration in those gospels. Nope. Nothing, not even the magi.
On top of that, the entire concept of "magi" was plagiarised directly from Zoroastrianism.
All of it is simply tacked on BS.
You clearly left that part out... Just more atheist dishonesty.
Feel free to pint out where two years travelling are claimed in the gospels. Clearly, you are unable to do so, else you would have done so.
All you have left is to hurl insults. How "christian" of you. Next you will point out any old crap in the bible as a distraction.
ETA: We all know it will be Mat. 2:16 next. You are fooling nobody.
