In what way is the Resurrection the best explanation?
RE: In what way is the Resurrection the best explanation?
A story about a young unmarried girl who goes out into the desert alone, at night, and comes back pregnant probably doesn't require any exploration of the details of parthenogenically produced offspring.

I'll take "This girl fucks" for 500, alex.

It's an example of a genre that was very popular in folklore, in the region, at the time. It's also a clever way of explaining (and minimizing) the phenomena of young girls getting knocked up - both as a cautionary tale and as a negotiation on their honor. Similarly, as fun as the typos in magic book are...and how often human beings misread some word, they're not the reason that people believed in the virgin birth. They already believed in it.

Getting knocked up by djinn is the ane equivalent of little red riding hood.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
