DB Roy,
I have investigated many challenges to Christianity including Astrotheology. I was a participant briefly on the forum set up by D.M. Murdock (the self anointed Acharya S.) until I was banned for challenging their material. My criticisms were not directed to their doctrine but showing that their posts were factually wrong.
I bought some of Murdock's books including Christ in Egypt. I intended to go through her material and point out its errors but I found the task overwhelming. I would have had to reproduce the book with comments on nearly every paragraph. But the discovery which finally persuaded me to abandon the project was the discovery that it is understood that a MAJOR impediment to scientific progress had been the ancient doctrine of THE GREAT YEAR. When that cyclical philosophy was abandoned science took off.

Re: Evidence for Jesus - the End of the Mythical of Jesus and more
On the other thread on this topic, more precisely in the linked article there, the author even resorts to Occam's razor.
A slight problem for cold reason is that Occam's razor is again used in a classically erroneous way... what most of the time is missed in such uses of it is that the choices have to be equal in many respects.
Slightly on the side, one marvels how consistently an apparent "rational" process makes either fundamental reasoning mistakes in the same way, or at best leaves out essential parts of a principle depending on what suits the agenda best...
