Virgin Mary, Ark of the Covenant

[Ben Davis]

The fact that an immaculate conception is a biological impossibility, and one that has never been verifiably repeated, is claim enough of its falseness.

What was Hitchens' response?

"I'll grant you that it would be possible to track the pregnancy of the woman Mary, who's mentioned about three times in the Bible, and to show there was no male intervention in her life at all yet she delivered herself of a healthy baby boy; I don't say that's impossible. Parthenogenesis is not completely unthinkable. However that does not prove that his paternity is divine neither does it prove that any of his moral teachings were thereby correct."
