Well, if you read the article Time.com ran titled, “Maybe We Really Are Alone in the Universe” by Jeffrey Kluger, Editor At Large for Time, you might think so. While several science news organizations ran this, including the New York Times, it failed to make it to the evening news. I was not surprised that it did not get the coverage it should have.

Was there an actual "Star” of Bethlehem or was it an apparition that God miraculous set in the skies that led three Magi (Kings or Wisemen) to the Savior of the World?
