It's clear that physical impregnation was necessary; thus the whole bit about the Holy Spirit descending on mary.
So it begs the question, while we're talking about 2000 year old mythologies, of why they thought a god could have a child, when doing so requires human sperm and human egg? It seems obvious that the concept made sense to the ancients, who had no idea what genetics was. It's the same reason we get Eve being made from a rib, yet being female. Why the rib? Why not just make her from clay, like God did with Adam, in the story? Simple: They had no idea what chromosomes were, let alone that if you clone a being out of the rib-bone DNA of a male, you get a male. They simply did not know how females came to be. And that's okay until you start telling me that your mythology is modern reality, and the "only reason" I don't believe it is because I have a problem with theism (an odd claim, considering I was a theist when I rejected the Christian claims, and remained a theist for a few years afterward).
I've posted this before, but you really, seriously need to consider the implications of this basic fact:
yes but that would actually make sense so baaaa! and they they would have to accept the gays *gasp* and accept contradiction that wont do yea it doesnt make sense but it must be true because its the only way it all hold up lol constant struggle to explain contradictions im sure in the light of new info.
