The Pew Forum showed that the majority of Catholics and Mainline Protestants actually believe evolution is the best explanation for the origins of life. As for virgin birth, that is scientifically possible, but not all that important to me anyway. It really comes down that I don't think science can eliminate the possibility of something more. Increasingly, in light of postmodernism, I feel that many would say we aren't even close to knowing everything, let alone knowing enough to define the universe by exclusion. It's all just a part of the way I filter things. I can certainly see how you would filter things differently, and I respect that.
Pretty sure "scientifically possible" doesn't apply to the particular virgin birth we're talking about. The status of jesus divinity isn't all that important? If he were simply the son of an un-named human that would be A-Ok with you? If science can't eliminate the possibility of "something more" on other articles of faith (yours), then on what basis do you discard young earth creationism (theirs) in favor of physics and evolution? Wouldn't that be one of those "something more"s that science cannot eliminate (according to you)? What about all the "something more"s of faiths other than you own that science cannot eliminate and which directly contradict your own?
