This is quite interesting. Since I consider myself a student of all sciences, including the recondite ones, it's very easy to believe not only the scientific consistency of the circumstances when the Christ may have been born, but gives credence to the astrological (yet circumstantial) evidence as well.

My faith has never been stronger!
