I was shocked by this one:
http://www.skepticink.com/reasonablyfait...-the-time/ Per the BMJ article, 1 in 200 US women claim to have conceived without having had sexual intercourse! 
One wonders how many xtians fall for that?
Those aren't True Virgin Births™.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
"Virgin" births in nature result in offspring genetically identical to the mother. As far as I know parthenogenesis has never occurred in mammals.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
How many of those are 15 year old girls in Mississippi?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

A woman gives birth - worldwide - about four times a second. This woman must be found and stopped.

They should bomb the Parthenon, this is getting out of hand!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
whats more miraculous, a woman doing a virgin birth, or me doing it non-virginally ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
