**He found that an unbiased examination of the historical evidence for the Nativity does not undermine, but corroborates, Christian Tradition.**
Regarding your two posts, I realize that the author of that article was promoting the historical evidence for the Nativity and I also realize that you are just the messenger and apologize that I was hasty in my posting and didn’t specify that. My beef was that the author seemed to be rather negative of Larson and “The Star of Bethlehem” because he was so adamant about what the Magi could have seen and known back then since they didn’t have the modern computer simulations and my response to that is, “duh.” Of course, but now that WE can see what was going on relative to the conjunctions and positions of the various astronomical bodies during that year, WE can be blessed by this information (e.g., the Lion - Leo and Lion of Judah). That was my beef with the article primarily.
I wish he had only written his article a little more positively. Larson did a good thing and my sneaking suspicion is that it is another Catholic bashing a Protestant (sorry, Salvation, just my 2 cents).
