Okay, so I started quoting posts but it was pretty much irrelevant.
Cox, Harry fucking Potter mentions real places and real events. 2000 years from now, if we haven't nuked ourselves out of existence, do you really think that makes Harry Potter any more real? There are people nowadays who take those books soooooooo seriously. They inhabit a dark part of the nerd forest reserved just for themselves and those fruitbats who wanted to commit suicide to get to that Pandora planet in Avatar.
It is a fictional story with real elements. If such an astronomical event happened, and got put into the book because it made it sound impressive, what exactly does that have to do with the price of tea in China? I mean it - answer me that. Point blank. Not 'it's interesting to those of us who believe the gospels' or whatever. What exactly does it prove? That something in a fictional story wasn't quite fictional? We have those little disclaimers in the beginning of books nowadays that say "this is a work of fiction. all relation to real people or places are purely coincidental" for a reason - people take shit too seriously.
Also, why does it interest you if some real event validated the gospels? Surely your belief doesn't need validation. I don't need validation for my belief in Gerard Butler's secret love for me. I just need my OhMiBod.
