http://www.SimplyAstrology.com Historians have long known that Jesus Christ must have been born between 1 and 4 BC. Recently, an Australian astronomer, Dave Reneke, has taken the Bible story of the birth of Jesus and used it to identify an astronomical phenomena that matches the description of the bright, slow-moving star that coincided with this birth.
jesus = 6 jan -5 (6BC)

@harryfodder Also, it's interesting to not that the Sabbath, which God gave us from creation week, starts on sundown on what we call Friday and ends on sundown on what we call Saturday. There would be no way to figure out when sundown was without these "lights" in order to observe this sacred time, don't you think? Since you were kind enough to let me know your interpretation of Genesis 1:14-15, please tell me your interpretation of Isaiah 47:13-15, which specifically speaks against ASTROLOGERS.

@harryfodder I like the verses you quoted. It's good to know that God made the lights so that we have some sort of sense of time. But nowhere in those verses does it say that the alignment of stars/planets and such prove of any significance, especially when its interpretation is man-made. As far as "signs to mark sacred times", please study the various Bible sacred festivals that were based on lunar cycles and such.

@requerdo 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
SIGNS TO MARK SACRED TIMES. Enough said? Yep!

Interesting that astrology is being used to analyze Jesus when God Himself warns us against astrologers (Example: Isa 47:13-15). Why use methods that God doesn't approve of to prove Him?
