For example, at the time that Joseph and the pregnant Mary are said to have gone off to Bethlehem for a supposed Roman census, Galilee (unlike Judaea) was not a Roman province and therefore ma and pa would have had no reason to make the journey.
Sa halip ang sinasabing “pinakadakilang kasaysayan” ay tadtad pa nga ng sari-saring kamalian, kontradiksyon, at kalokohan. Halimbawa, noong panahon na si Jose at ng buntis na si Maria ay sinasabing pumaroon sa Bethlehem para sa diumano’y isang senso ng Roma, ang Galilea ay ni hindi pa isang lalawigang Romano, di tulad ng Judea.
