Adam was created in a much more complex Miracle than Jesus. At least Jesus had to be formed as a fetus in a woman's womb. Yes she was virgin when GOD Almighty caused her to get pregnant, but nonetheless, Jesus had to be formed as a fetus in a human womb like you and me.
Adam on the other hand and Eve also were created in a much more complex Miracle. Adam was created vitually from non living matter into living organic matter. Eve, his wife, was created from his rib. These two Miracles are far greater than Jesus' birth.
So the absurd claim about Jesus' birth proving that he is GOD Almighty is soundly debunked through simple common sense.

Further, if the Christian splits hairs by arguing that Adam was "created" from the dust of the ground, whereas Jesus was immaculately "begotten" in the womb of Mary, then let us remind him that, even according to his own false standards, there is yet another person greater than Jesus, in his own Bible . Who is this superman?
Paul's Innovation
"For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God... Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life..." (Hebrews 7:1,3)
Here is a candidate for Divinity itself, for only God Almighty could possess these qualities. Adam had a beginning (in the garden), Jesus had a beginning (in the stable); Adam had an end and, claim the Christians, so had Jesus "and he gave up the ghost". But where is Melchisedec? Perhaps he is hibernating somewhere like Rip Van Winkel (a fairy tale character who slept for many ages.)

Mary was a hermaphrodite so she was a freak of "nature" and Jesus was the twisted product of that strange creation, while Adam was just a mutated monkey swinging from the trees... the snake is just a metaphor for the tail he lost.

Remember that Jesus was the first of all creation as stated at Colossians 1:15--"who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
So, he too was created from non-living matter, thus he became the only-begotten Son of God.
The fact that God transferred the invisible spirit of his Son into the womb of an imperfect human and he was born perfect is indeed a miracle. Jesus was in heaven with his Father when Adam was formed from the dust of the ground. When God said " Let us make man in our image" he was speaking to Jesus.(Genesis 1:26)

i agree with you in one point: the claim about Jesus' birth proving that he is GOD Almighty is in fact absurd.
especially since jesus' existance, other than mohammed's and buddha's for example is far from ascertained anyway.
no less adsurd is your own argument though, and the one thing i do see nowhere in your whole posting is the thing you claim to use:
common sense.

Our Lord God did all three of those miracles so what does it matter?
