Star of Bethlehem
The Star of Bethlehem has become an icon of Christmas. During the holiday season, it is traditionally placed upon Christmas trees or positioned above the baby Jesus in manger scenes. This star was a light that oriental scientists followed from distant countries (possibly Persia, Saba, and Sheba) to the exact place where Jesus lived in Bethlehem. Many astronomers have attempted to provide a naturalistic explanation for the Christmas Star. Some say that the star was a convergence of astronomical bodies, or a supernova. The alternative to this kind of naturalistic explanation is to believe that God caused something supernatural to happen.

Israel
The land of Israel is strategically located between three major world continents - Europe, Asia and Africa. To the north it is bound by Lebanon and Syria, to the east by Jordan and to the south by the Red Sea and Egypt. Long and narrow in shape, Israel is about 290 miles (470 km.) long and 85 miles (135 km.) across at its widest point. The people of Israel (Israelites) trace their ancestry ultimately to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe. Abraham, his son Isaac, and grandson Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel) are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel.

Macroevolution
Macroevolution is a theoretical process thought to produce relatively large (macro) evolutionary change within biological organisms. The term is used in contrast to minor (micro) changes. The concept was introduced due to the absence of transitional forms between higher taxa (i.e. phyla, classes), which is in stark contrast to the expectations of Darwinian gradualism. It was therefore proposed as a mechanism responsible for large-scale patterns of evolution, which are distinct from the small-scale factors that contribute to gradual change within populations.
