Dear CHRISTIANS! Was the BIRTH of Jesus, a Miracle?
First, it is not confirmed that Jesus, as portrayed by the Gospels, ever existed so this begs the question of whether or not his birth was a miracle. Second, it is notable that THE most important event in human history, from a Christian point of view, lacks any confirming evidence from any of the civilizations that existed at the time. Seriously, if some wise men noted the “Star of Bethlehem” shouldn’t at least one of the many literate civilizations recorded it? Given its importance, I’d expect all civilizations, literate or not to have some sort of recognition of it. Strangely, this is not the case. As far as hard evidence is concerned, Jesus might have been born, lived, and died in relative obscurity except for the Gospels which were written 1.5 generations after he supposedly died. Edit: Truth is not defined by what you believe, it is defined by irrefutable facts.
