Yeah, that whole baby thing had to be an add-on that didn't understand that for someone to be the messiah, he has to first fulfill a heck of a lot of things, like freeing the Jews from captivity for a start!
You don't get born to the job. You gotta earn it.
But then, it was 3 non-Jews (later scholers try to make them Jewish Kings from Yemen, which is a problem) who believed in a bunch of superstition that wanted to worship a baby, left a tip and took off in a hurry.
And yeah, there are way too many discrepancies between Luke and Matthew anyhow. You would have thought that they would have done a better editing job (which is their proof that it is true!)
