Did it ever occur to anyone how can anyone follow a fucking star?From a scientific stand why would anyone waste their time discussing a bronze age comic book like the bible .

Kind of a waste to be accurate around dates, when the date of Jesus' supposed birthday isn't even mentioned in the bible, innit?

Hell's Bells, guys. If Isaac Asimov could write an essay on it, then SS can do a vid. Leave off.
The Bible is a fairy tale, it's mostly a waste of time to take it seriously.

@nawitus Let's assume it's a fairytale (though scientists never assume). Is it not possible the writers weaved in historical elements to lend credibility.
Scientists have a rich history of poring over historical documents, literature and even religion for information. Earthquakes, supernovae, volcanic eruptions and comets all find their way into writings of their age.
It's not hardcore science, but certainly worthy of a fun video at Christmas!?
Let's all live happily ever after!? :)

It's Christmas guys! We always do something a little off-beat and quirky related to current events or festivities.
I think people should chill out and take it with a grain of salt! We don't want scientists looking like zealots who can't have the occasional laugh and make a fun video, do we?
This was still YouTube last time I checked?
