Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?

[CoxRox]

I thought that a topic which deals with a real astronomical event, would be of interest to some people on here. I know that any 'religious' significance to such an event is a laughable matter amoungst athesits and non Christians. I get that. I am trying to demonstrate that the reference to a star in the Bible, that sounded far fetched and mythical, could well be explained by science and therefore, this 'star' has a plausible explanation, even if it has NO religious significance to most people on here. What I can't hack any more, is people coming onto this thread to tell me how silly I am, people who probably aren't one bit interested in this thread or what it is about. It's just an excuse to vent more hostility toward the gullible Christian. When you dread coming on here to find more hosility, and your stomach is churning, then I think it's probably time for you to call it a day. I'm too sensitive a person to come up against such negativity all the time. I'm messaging Stimbo regarding his findings, and may take a week or two to check his stuff out. I'll reply to Stimbo on here, once I've determined the low down on this astronomical event, just in case anyone is interested to know more about this and then I'll call it a day.
