The video was made to show that what is reported in the Scriptures is consistent with what can be demonstrated concerning the observed positions of the planets at the time of the birth of Jesus and visit of the Magi.

A number of people have jumped on this thread to flaunt what they consider their own superior virtue, and in the process demonstrated their own stupidity.

They have claimed not to “need” modern science, because their “faith” is stronger than other people’s. Some of them have actually declared that people who look into what modern science can tell us about the “star” are going to fall into a fiery pit.

The findings displayed in the video would not even be interesting unless the maker of the video ALREADY BELIEVED that what the gospel reports is true. It is a praiseworthy exercise to discover ways in which events reported in Scripture can be independently verified. Doing so removes objections to faith.

You are an example of the insufferable prigs whose main interest is in congratulating yourself on your “faith”: O, Lord, I thank you that I am not like those others, whose faith is not as pure, and strong, and praiseworthy as my own.
