You still have to account for all the planetary conjunctions and similar events that happened prior to this particular period and all the ones that have happened since, including the ones yet to happen. These things are happening all the time, night after night, none of them have any relevance beyond coincidence due to our subjective point of view as inhabitants of an orbiting world in a system of orbiting worlds. Orbital mechanics is indeed a fascinating subject and we have the maths down pretty well. The question is why should anyone seize on this one particular period of history as opposed to any other? Basically what we have is the observations of about eight months in one specific year that can be shoehorned into service as evidence in support of one particular myth, as long as we disregard the thousands of years before and since then that, inconveniently for the believer, don't fit.
Then again Jesus never existed anyway, so the exercise is purely an academic one.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
