VERY brief reply:

Biologists would disagree with you that the evolution of species is not central to all of modern biology, just as astronomers and cosmologists (probably even some well-informed cosmetologists) would disagree that the earth might be the center of the universe.

No one, as far as I know, disagrees that you have a right to believe what you wish. I will go with the scientists.

Several months ago, I was asked for my views on the virgin birth elsewhere. Here was my response - I wouldn't change a word:
-----
1. How many human beings would you say have lived on earth? (I would say about 100 billion, give or take a few billion).

1a: How many of these would you say were born of virgins? (I would say, a very small number).

2. What does Paul say about the virgin birth? (I would say, nothing).

3. What does Mark say about the virgin birth? (I would say, nothing).

4. What does John the apostle, who presumably looked after Mary after Jesus' death, say about the virgin birth? (I would say, nothing).

5. Matthew says that the virgin birth fulfills a verse from Isaiah. Did the verse to which he refers fortell a virgin birth? (I would say, nope).

6. Luke, a gentile and presumably a former pagan, was very familair with virgin birth as it was a popular pagan belief in his day. Could this have anything to do with his story of a virgin birth? (I would say, ya never know).

7. Did Jesus ever claim to have been born of a virgin? (I would say, not that I have ever heard of).

8. Is God capable of impregnating a woman through the power of the Holy Spirit? (I would say, absolutely).

Let's compare notes, caf. How would your answers differ?
