But like I said, even if a star "moved" in the sky, kind of like how we can see the space station move, how do you follow that? Furthermore, how does it stop above the manger? It's impossible. It had to have been something near to the ground, in order for the wise men to see where it moved, and where it stopped.
Imagine if you could control the movement of the space station, and there was a treasure hidden somewhere in the middle of Texas, and you had to guide me to this treasure, using only the space station. How would you do it? I'll tell you right now, it would be impossible. I could walk towards the space station as long as I felt like it was in front of me, but I wouldn't know where to stop. I would just keep walking until at some point I realized it was behind me so I would turn around, but I would never be able to know with any degree of accuracy when I am right below it, or near the treasure. In fact, I could be 100 miles from the treasure, and it would look like I was right below the space station. So a literal star in outer space, just doesn't make sense for the wise men to follow to the manger. I'm sure God would be able to think of a much more accurate and effective way to guide these men. If I was God, I would use an angel.
I believe your verse refers to Jesus, as the star, not a literal star.
