Wouldn't more ppl believe in a Virgin Birth if DNA testing...?

Question

had been available when it occured?

Answer 1

*shrug* Who knows. Personally I think virgin really meant unmarried, not actually a physical virgin.

Answer 2

dna testing can match the dna to both parents. if they had done the dna test, im willing to bet that the results would be the mother being the mother, and the father being the mother. in the animal world, sometimes animals can have virgin births, and when that happens, all the chromosomes come from the mother. im sure that the same would happen for a human virgin birth. so if you were to test a virgin birth, you would find that the blood almost exactly matched the mother's.

i bet jesus looked a lot like his mom. :)

Answer 3

So let's do this....

Let's say it is today, and someone claims immaculate conception.

We have DNA and paternity tests. We can scientifically prove that she is the mother. We can even prove that none of the men we go to test are the father. We can't prove an immaculate conception however.

Lack of proof of fatherhood would not validate a claim of immaculate conception. Logically and scientifically.

Answer 4

Specifically, there is no reason to think a God has DNA. As well, Virgin births are not unknown throughout history as penetration is not necessary for conception.

Answer 5

When when overcomes fears, like being made fun of, and starts
having experiences like spirits poppoing in and out of thin air. A Virgin Birth is not so hard to accept!

Answer 6

Of course they would but, that 'll never happen. What ifs... are usually next to impossible.
