The Bible says Jesus was born during Census of 6-7 CE and reign of Herod. Sometime after Jesus' birth, Joseph takes Mary and Jesus to Egypt and stays there with them until Herod dies. Jesus is supposed to have died in Jerusalem in about 32 CE.
The problem is that there is no King Herod or even a combination of Herods that squares with the 6-7 CE birth date.
Again, I find two sides to the story. Check out these.

Why do you totally trust Josephus?

You tend to trust secular historical evidence as factual and biblical evidence as non-factual.
