The bible is full of “miracles.” One of the miracles that people often question, and even doubt, is the virgin birth event. People say, “There is no way Mary had a virgin birth.” They usually suspect that Mary and Joseph had premarital sex, and tried to hide it until they were married to prevent persecution or punishment.
So when the hear the story of a Virgin born Jesus, they often think…Yeah Right! Atheists also like to be skekptical about this and point out that all humans must have a mother and a father. But is that really the truth? Was Jesus Really Born of a Virgin?
Was Jesus Really Born of a Virgin? Is it Scientifically Possible?
Yes and Yes! I personally believe that Jesus Christ was absolutely born of a virgin, and in fact, the only one that ever was in the history of the world! Some of you may be saying, “yeah right, how could this happen.” But the truth is, this is KNOWN to happen in science. CNN recently reported on a shark that was born of a virgin shark mother. They did DNA testing, and it proved it had absolutely NO male DNA donated to it!WOW-isn’t that quite amazing. This is how it happened:
“The scientists who studied the Virginia and Nebraska sharks said the newly formed pups acquired one set of chromosomes when the mother’s chromosomes split during egg development, then united anew.”
That is pretty interesting isn’t it! A set of chromosones slip during egg development and united again. This produced a shark–with no male donation of genetic material. The article also stated that:
“Virgin birth has been proven in some bony fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds, and has been suspected among sharks in the wild.”
So virgin births, while rare, do happen! It is a scientific fact. And while I completely have total tolerance, love, and respect for people of all faiths (or no faith at all), you must admit that it is at least possible, that at one point in the entire human history, one person COULD have been born of a virgin. I believe this did happen, I believe the bible predicts this from Genesis (where God says He will put emnity between satan’s seed and the woman’s seed). I believe the person’s name was Jesus.
If someone was born of a virgin, that would make them very unique wouldn’t it. Especially if they claimed some of the things that Jesus and the apostles claimed. Very interesting!
