The first Christians claimed Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary for a very good reason: They were absolutely convinced that it actually happened.
Remember, Mary expressed disbelief when the angel first told her what was about to happen. And yet the Bible's witness is clear: "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you. ... So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God'" (Luke 1:35). Jesus' first followers knew His mother and His immediate family well, because they often followed Him from place to place. If the virgin birth was only a myth, those disciples would have known it, and neither they nor Mary would have allowed it to be proclaimed.
It's significant that the most thorough Gospel account of the virgin birth was written by Luke, who was a medical doctor. If anyone knew the impossibility of a virgin birth it was Luke—and yet, after careful research, he knew it was a fact. The God who was powerful enough to create the whole universe also was powerful enough to bring Jesus into the world without a human father.
You will only understand the virgin birth of Jesus when you understand who He was: the divine Son of God, sent from heaven to save us from our sins. His miraculous birth was a sign, pointing the way to our salvation. Why not put your life into His hands?

I like this question, very witty. In actual fact records and research suggest that Joseph was Jesus's biological father and Jesus's mother Mary was about 13 when she had him and Joseph was 30. The immaculate conception thing is just a way for Christians to cover up the paedophilia issue and to create impossible and unnatural role models for women.

I don't think they had the technology back then to artificially inseminate. This suggestion seems like another conspiracy theory against the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Oh yes, an angel coming up with artificial insemination in his lab up in heaven is much more feasible then immaculate conception.

They didn't have the knowledge for test tube baby back then or anything close to it. God made Mary pregnant, simple as that.

No, there were many "virgin births" before Jesus.

Actually, Mary was impregnated without penetration. Jesus was born through a process called aparthenogenesis, which is a strategy followed by certain toads and salamanders.

no
everytime someone said don't do this its wrong in the eyes of GOD he was questioned to bring mericals to prove he is real.
jesus was the answer to that his birth, speech in infancy, healing powers, above all his patience.
once prophet showed his miracle people kept judging him by their limited knowledge saying its impossible.
gabriel is only a messanger no physical body to carry physical semen.

You read the wrong book he was born in a manger, unless that was an early form of test tube.
