Also you are assuming (as usual) that there was nothing significant happening in the 1770's.

Furthermore, I see you and your buddy are not willing to be as honest as NASA, who when they find something using modern science that fits the Biblical account of History, don't immediately deny it, but add it to their report.

You see, you may want to see the Bible and God discredited so that everything else it says about you will somehow go away, but it seems NASA doesn't wish to join you on that journey of denial.
Interestingly the entry on the NASA website about the date of the crucifixion is the only one with a question mark attached. Perhaps because even the Gospels aren't consistent on this.

More pertinently though it does reference the seminal work on eclipses on the subject. Schaefer, Bradley E., "Lunar Visibility and the Crucifixion", Q.Jl. R. astr. Soc., 1990, 31, p.53-67 (reproduced for reference)

In short it concludes that the partial lunar eclipse would not have been visible in Jerusalem during daylight hours and therefore could not be the reason for biblical references to sky darkening at the time of the crucifixion.

So it seems the Bible and science are at odds after all!
