I think the point is that it wasn't a "miracle" at all -- at least not in the sense we would think of it today.

Even if this guy is wrong, I believe he's at least on the right track. The "Star of Bethlehem" that is described in the New Testament was most likely a series of celestial events that would have looked pretty ordinary to most people, but would have portended great things to someone who studied the movement of the planets in the night skies.
