Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?
#26
RE: Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?
Look, I've just typed my fingers raw writing a paper on millisecond pulsars. I like to post things on this forum that deal with the more human side of the universe (philosophy, history, theology, etc) because my mind is constantly scrambled from my school work regarding the science of astronomy. I find it absurd that someone who obviously doesn't know anything at all about astronomy would use the word "god" to explain an astronomical event.

You don't have a fucking clue as to the exact time that Jesus was allegedly born. That being said, there are two different logical, scientific explanations for the "star of bethlehem". One being a triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn that happens once every 140 years, which from an earthling's perspective looks like an enormously bright object in the sky. The other explanation would be supernovae. Ancient Chinese records tell us that there were supernovae in the night sky in the general time that Jesus of Nazareth was allegedly born, and an unknown number of babies were murdered because he was allegedly born.

The bible was written by people who didn't have a clue that our sun is a star, no more special than the countless other yellow dwarf stars in the universe. They knew nothing, really, compared to what we know now, and what we know now is merely a fraction of what there undoubtedly is to know about astronomy, the universe, and everything. What we do know for sure is that if the Judea Christian version of god exists, he is a barbaric piece of shit, who could not have possibly had anything to do with the "creation" of the infinite number of mindfuckingly complex galaxies in the universe.

Take your invalid theoretical nonsense and go astound the morons at talkjesus with your amazing biased understandings of actual astronomical events.
