Komodo Virgin Birth?

Question

I'm just curious, and I mean no disrespect. I believe in Miracles. Sure sometimes I question the fact of their existence, but I am open minded enough to give divine intervention a thought.

That said, Why don't people consider the Komodo Virgin Birth a Miracle?

Nowadays, we claim lots of stuff that are unexplained, extraordinary, and extremely rare to be a Miracle, so why not this event of the Komodo?

I agree it is quite common with Reptiles.

But, Fighting and Winning over Cancer is also quite common with Humans.

So why are most of these cases sometimes classified as Miracles or Divine Intervention?

Answer 1

Because it states at the bottom of the article what exactly happened.

Answer 2

Okay, but why do folks just see that one part of it. The miracle is not only that Mary was a virgin, but that the Angel of God came to her, and also to Joseph - guiding and directing so as to see to the safety of the Christ child. The entire event from before His birth until today and through to the end of the age - its all prophecy fulfilled or waiting for fulfillment - its a miracle in every aspect of it, and through its entirety. Komodos are cool, too.

Answer 3

This is definitely the second coming! Jesus has returned as a lizard! Praise Jesus!

I know some of you were expecting a glowing hippie from the sky, trumpets, and a little bit of nuclear armageddon, but this is all you get. Don't forget to check the missing persons list to see if anybody you know may have been raptured.

Answer 4

It's not a miralce because given the right circumstances, a komodo dragon can have a virgin birth. It's about survival of the species.

Answer 5

I was thinking about the similarities or drawing some sort of comparison but you can't really. See the female komodo dragon has the sperm necessary to fertilize its own eggs. So, it's not really a miracle, its just God's way of messing with scientists.

Answer 6

It's asexual reproduction, like a worm. It's no more miraculous than sexual reproduction.

To Kailyn: It's not a crock, it's a Komodo Dragon. Crocodiles are much bigger.

When people win a battle with something like cancer, they will claim to be the products of divine intervention because their faith drives them to give credit to God instead of medicine or themselves. Plus it gives them a sense of closeness with their God, who plays a big role in their life and death.

Answer 7

Because some animals are able to reproduce through Parthogenesis, this is "virgin birth." This means it takes no male to reproduce. There are some animals where there are no males or females and all get pregnant, there are some that are born pregnant, and some that are born asexual and reproduce through "timed pregnancies." That is they automatically become pregnant at a certain age.

Life always finds a way!

Answer 8

Because it is quite common with other lizards and reptiles--look it up. The only thing unusual at all was that no one knew it could happen with komodos. Quit jumping to conclusions.

Answer 9

Virgin births are not that uncommon in the lizard world, but we've never seen one from a lizard so big before. That's where the original hype came from, I believe.

Answer 10

I kinda laughed but maybe the people checked to see if she had had sex before or something. I won't say that she's a virgin....I am not about to check but if the "experts" say so....oh well. Same thing when they "claim" they cloned a human...where's the proof?
