I'm not sure how this jives with the Magi. Weren't they suppose to be following a star to find Jesus.

Good point. There isn't any evidence in the Bible that the star was sent by God. Especially since the "Magi" were unwittingly on a path to get Jesus killed. The star could have been sent by Satan.

There is a difference between astrology and astronomy. One is a recognized science.
