"Gospel Quest" (or The Jesus Timeline)

Also, this date allows for the all-so-interesting celestial dance between 3-2 BC, which may have been what the Magi saw:

When you get to it, I'm just dying for you to show us the single point vectoring that enabled the magi and shepherds to pinpoint the right house with a stationary guide millions of miles away.

In 3/2 BC, Jupiter’s retrograde wandering would have called for our magus’ full attention. After Jupiter and Regulus had their kingly encounter, Jupiter continued on its path through the star field. But then it entered retrograde. It “changed its mind” and headed back to Regulus for a second conjunction. After this second pass it reversed course again for yet a third rendezvous with Regulus, a triple conjunction. A triple pass like this is more rare. Over a period of months, our watching magus would have seen the Planet of Kings dance out a halo above the Star of Kings. A coronation.

Thats a shitload of information from a couple of dots in the sky movig closer and further away.
So the claim is that the star was the planet Jupiter. The christian site reeks of smoke and mirrors, you have to follow a number of pages to even find out what they claim the star is, and they make a horridly bad claim that the star standing still was simply the apex of the retrograde. Never mind that no stopping occurred, only a perception changed. The god that gave us the bible was certainly dimwitted..

From a .EDU site..http://climate.gi.alaska.edu/curtis/astro2.html

Saturn-Regulus Conjunctions 29 years 1 month + 11 to 30 days

Interval between successive conjunctions; excluding triple conjunction intervals. For the brightest and nearest Saturn-star conjunctions.

So something that happens every 29 years or so, that has not been definitively matched to anything because a planet is not a star, that is millions of miles away moving in a direction that would be un-calculable before the invention of the telescope, this is your "proof" that jesus was born in the manner described in the gospels?

To a man walking on earth he could not orient himself with this as the earth is revolving and his perspective changes with the hour. The men of this time did not even own a watch. They in no way could have been guided to a house by Jupiter, or a real star.

This christian apology is not only childishly stupid, it is dishonest, as it is obvious that the story is written by one who knew nothing of the working of the cosmos nor knew anything about star reckoning. Even the sextant was not invented then.

You know the story that is being purported as factual, is not. You are lying to us. You are trying to deceive us so that we will mistakenly agree with your lies.
