Arch Bishop of Canterbury disputes Christmas Story

In England, the Arch Bishop of Canterbury (Dr. Rowan Williams) has disputed parts of the traditional Christmas story. According to the London Telegraph, Dr. Williams has claimed there was little evidence that the Magi even existed and there was certainly nothing to prove there were three of them or that they were kings. He also disputes the timing of Jesus' birth, suggesting that "Jesus was probably not born in December at all".

Wow! This, coming from the head of the Anglican Church.

He continues with his commentary, arguing "that Christmas cards which showed the Virgin Mary cradling the baby Jesus, flanked by shepherds and wise men, were misleading. As for the scenes that depicted snow falling in Bethlehem, the Archbishop said the chance of this was 'very unlikely'."

The interview came on a program where he was interviewed by Ricky Gervais, who you might know as the creator of the hit British television show, "The Office". He also appears in the US version with the same name.
