    I think they mean if the story that it was a virgin birth is real, not the story of God, because that for sure isn’t. Parthenogenesis is a real thing, though very rare in humans. It allows for virgin births. If the story is to believed that it was a virgin birth, then this is what it was. I don’t believe that story, but it is theoretically possible. I think it’s much more likely she slept with someone else and got pregnant. It wouldn’t be the first or last time a woman did that and said she was still a virgin, and it was a miracle.

      Imagine working so hard to keep up a lie that you accidentally create a religion with billions of followers and people still telling your lie tale 2000 years later.
