As a college prof of mine once said..."it wasn't the finger of god that touched her."
I've thought that for a while too, If my girlffriend came to me and said "I'm pregnant and god is the father" I'd be like okay paternity test let's go.
I do not think men in roman times were that dumb either.
The issue is that according to jewish law, mary would have to be killed for not being a virgin if a man impregnated her; giving joseph motive to go along. That is assuming the whole story is not bull, which is unlikely.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
