In the discussion on my previous post I made a comment on possibility of a pregnancy of a human woman without having a husband; a case that might happen similar to what historically has been said about Jesus Christ.
I clear my position that I do not have doubt about what the gospels have described about the birth of Jesus: that he is son of god and the fact that Mary conceived by intervention of Holy Spirit. What I say, is to refute what atheists know as impossibility of such a pregnancy.
See, if you look around yourself all the women give birth to only one child when pregnant. This is the most probable. Each woman releases one egg in each (lunar) period . When this egg becomes paired with a sperm, it shields itself from penetration of other sperms.
With all these machineries in place some eggs allow a second sperm and monozygotic or identical twins become created. Sometimes women release two eggs and pregnancy creates two children of the non-identical or dizygotic type. This is more frequent than the other one, around 1 to 2 percent of all the child births. Monozygotic amounts to just a fraction of this fraction.
God forbids a lot of anomalies can happen in this process such as conjoined twins. Babies with two heads etc. as we continue the probability decreases.
We have seen twins of two fathers conceived in time intervals within a day, one from an African father with dark skin one with a non-African father with lighter skin. The probability of such incident is absolutely miniscule.
I saw an orange almost as big as a melon and inside it there was an orange surrounding another full orange and that one surrounded another full orange. The fourth inner layer was almost as little as a glass marble but still an edible orange.
Then we have triplets with a chance of 1 in 4400 birth and then quadruplets and quintuplets still with slimmer chances and technology assisted conception has succeeded even to give birth to eight children in an octuplet .
In the same way scientists have calculated a spontaneous conception accident with a probability of less than one over 750,000,000 (seven hundred fifty millions) of the fertile human females. (Probability does not mean that it happens; means that it is just probable.)
Many of such births have been left without attention and assumed as natural due to the environment and time of pregnancy.
There were similar stories before the time of Jesus Christ among different nations; for example, story of Diana among Romans who became conceived, when she was naked, by a shower of gold.

The next dispute recently has been created to alter the miraculous life of Jesus Christ, turning him into an ordinary man, is the arguments about his race.
All of us, we humans are from the same race; that is, human race; what about Jesus Christ? Was he from kryptonite? Definitely not. He came with the flesh of human and was suffered and tolerated pain to salvage man.
Now there are hidden agendas that tell people that he was not blond hair and fair skin as depicted in the pictures that Europeans have or imagine about him. They say he was dark skin and Middle Eastern or Semite and so on. They put finger on the recent studies of DNA and ethnology and electronic microscopes and such things.
As much I excavate (or better term scavenge) these studies I get nearer to the root of those who have these strings in their hands: Antichrist and people similar to those who crucified Jesus Christ.
We have two answers for such allegations. First for believers: God created Christ the same way who created Adam. God was not short of DNA and Jesus Christ remains in the picture of Adam in any way that humans can imagine Him.
Even, it is not sure, as I heard from the vicar of my local church, that Mary was actual cousin of Elizabeth. At that time like modern days in many places including Middle East, very intimate friends and neighbours used to call each other aunt, uncle and cousins; especially when children were very young, and that would remain in the minds of those children.
Second, for those who are non-believer to religious stories: The places which were described as the birth place and growth of Christ were center of commerce and war between many nations, full of soldiers, tradesmen and mercers and sailors, and slaves from India, Central Asia, Africa and Europe up to Norse people. It was the time and place of wars, lootings, arsons and rape. Romans had recruits, slaves and administrators and soldiers from Germans, Cartages, Niobean, Gauls, Armenians and Bulgars and others. If one believes that a human has been the father of Christ, then any human from this population could be His father.
