You have to understand the context of this to understand it at all.
In the time and place that the story of Jesus was being written down, it was a common thing in many religious and cultural systems that heroes were said to have been born of a god and a human woman. This was a mythological convention; it wasn't meant to be believed as literally happening, It was a culturally-understood "signal" to the listener or reader of a story that the person born of this union was special.
Kind of like "Stepford Wife"; it's a shorthand phrase that conveys a lot of meaning to people with a common culture.
The people in that time and place understood this, and did not actually believe that a god had impregnated a human woman.
If you do a little searching, you'll find that this is a VERY common "theme" in the stories of heroes, demi-gods, and so on.
If you start with Greek mythology, you'll find t rife with heroes born of virgins, or heroes born of a union of a god with a human woman.
It really was a literary convention, and not meant to be taken as being factual..

Simple. Mary supplied the physical and God supplied the spiritual needed. No different then what God did in Genesis 2:7. Only there God took the physical directly from the ground, formed the genetic material and breathed in the life. With Mary, he used a preformed genetic material, and then breathed in the life.

God can do only Godly things. God cannot do unGodly things such as mating as humans do to beget children, creating another God exactly as Himself, throwing any one/thing out of His domain, etc. Not "...anything is possible with God", as the Christian always like to say.

God spoke the universe into existance-He is the father of all creation. God spoke Mary pregnent-He is the Father of Jesus. God did not have sex with Mary. It is hard to understand God when you are using a human mind. We are just not that intelligent.

He conferred with current day scientists and biologists, then went back 2007 years with designer sperm and magically placed his best swimmers in Mary's uterus.
Remember, her husband, Joseph had never had sex with his wife. He married her solely to weigh down the donkey as they traveled to Bethlehem. He knew this image was needed for the Christmas cards of today
I don't know why this fact isn't clear to everyone.

He cannot. God has no child. Jesus was a prophet, not a God.

Anything God desires to do he will do, by means of holy spirit he made Mary "come to be pregnant".
