The same way that a gingerbread man can walk, a girl can sleep for 100 years, three goats can talk to a troll or a wolf can blow down a house made of wood.
They are all fairy tales.

It was through the power of the Holy Spirit. With God all things are possible. Mary said 'How can this be when I have not known man?'

If U believe in God, U should beleive in this miracle.
If U don't believe in God, Need not to worry.
Just wait for the domes day (U Believe it or not), U'll come to know all the realities and myths......

Because the early Christians thought that sex was dirty. They never noticed that if God created us to need sex to reproduce, he must have thought that it was OK.
So they borrowed the immaculate conception idea from the story of the birth of Mithra and used it for explain the birth of Jesus.

No one understands divine conception.In order for Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice,Mary had to be completely untouched.Conception by standard human intercourse would have ruled Mary unclean.

in addition to the other answers remember in ancient times terminology was different than today. there was a definition of " virgin " which was used to describe " a young girl or a young girl " and had nothing to do with virginity as we think of it today. although I also believe that Mary became pregnant with JESUS without knowing man.

Whether or not you believe her conception was "emaculate," the definition of virgin in biblical times, was any girl who has not yet had a period. In order to have a period, you must first pass an egg. If that egg becomes fertile, there will be no period! Very rare, but always possible!

It is called immaculate conception. She didn't "manage" to conceive rather she was chosen by God, as the bible says, to bear His Son. I doubt Mary really understood it either. Can you imagine the scorn and ridicule that an unmarried, pregnant woman in that time period would be subject to?

Matthew 1:18 "During the time his mother Mary was promised in marriage to Joseph, she was found to be pregnant by holy spirit before they were united."
But Mary was not a perpetual virgin, after Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary had other children.

God's own doing. Its one of God's miracles. You may not understand it now, but you have a chance to ask Him when He comes back and takes you to heaven.

In vitro fertilization.
Did you think that the God who created the universe with a word can't do something that we here in 2006 do on a daily basis at the local in vitro clinic?
