Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?

RE: Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?
*sigh* No. Explain how proving that the 'star' existed proves that we now know the year of Christ's birth, without reference to the Bible.

Here's an equivalent of your statement, so you can see how stupid it is.

1. I know I was born in 1987 somewhen, on a rainy day.
2. Our records show that it rained on April 4th, 1987.
3. I must have been born on April 4th, 1987.

You are using confirmation bias and your own presuppositions to 'prove' this point. That won't wash. Tell me that you understand why.
