You don't even know what you are talking about. Greeks were never paganists and they didn't believe in 12 gods , they had masters and messengers of the One God. Read the Greek philosophers!

Christianity believes that there was a one-time incidence of God causing a woman (Mary) to conceive without a male parent. There was no "crossbreding" involved. Mary supplyed the physical and God the spiritual needed to create the life.
Since God is able to create a living person straight from the elements of the earth, without using any human parent, and then take some of the first humans genetic material and create a second human without a parent or womb involved, to create a person within a womb without "breding" involved is not an issue.

You can interpret things any you like.
I was brought up Protestant, in the 1960s. When I was about 8 years old I had a dream about God destroying Heaven because "he got it all wrong." God looked like an giant man with an elephant's head, his entire body appeared to be made of white stone, like a statue. Angels were terrified and they were flying away.
The dream blew me away, I decided that if it was possible for me to have a dream like that, then God couldn't exist. I decided I would tell everybody God doesn't exist (remember, I was only eight years old and I was in the third grade). My parents didn't tell me God didn't exist, and I didn't learn it in school either, I got the idea because of my dream.
So, I went around telling other kids and adults that I believed God didn't exist. My best friend was extremely religious (I guess he was raised that way); he just looked at me like I was out of my mind. I told other people and nobody seemed to be particularly impressed--I was disappointed because I really thought I had an important message that everyone should know.
I would not identify with any particular religion for the next twenty years, but I loved to hear people talk about their religions, sometimes I was rude and argued with them. Although I didn't want a religion for myself, I enjoyed reading about them. I also liked reading about mythology and the occult.
After a low period in my life, depression, drug abuse, unemployment, I finally found a religion that I felt comfortable with--the Baha'i Faith; because it actually encouraged people to seek the truth for themselves, not to believe something just because somebody told you to.
I married a Hindu woman, from India (I am a white American). I told her family about the dream I had when I was eight. I thought the part about God looking like a man with an elephant's head would be interesting to them because it resembled the Hindu god Ganesha, I told their religious leader too. He said I had a "beautiful heart." My wife says I am a "pure soul", I am flattered by that, but it embarrasses me too, because I don't think I'm "pure" at all.
My only point is that religion talks in symbols, I don't think it's meant to be taken literally. I hate to insult anybody, but I think people who take it literally are missing the point of religion. Whether Jesus was really the "Son of God" or doesn't matter, it's HIs teachings that count. But I'm not preaching Christianity, seek the essence of whatever religion you believe, the details aren't really very important.
Best wishes.

The Bible account describing Jehovah’s displeasure with men in the days of Noah before the Flood relates that “the sons of the true God” took for themselves wives from among the attractive daughters of men. It then mentions the presence of “Nephilim,” saying: “The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones [Heb., haggibborim′] who were of old, the men of fame.”—Ge 6:1-4.
In Mythology. The fame and dread of the Nephilim, it appears, gave rise to many mythologies of heathen people who, after the confusion of languages at Babel, were scattered throughout the earth. Though the historical forms of the Genesis account were greatly distorted and embellished, there was a remarkable resemblance in these ancient mythologies (those of the Greeks being only one example), in which gods and goddesses mated with humans to produce superhuman heroes and fearful demigods having god-man characteristics.—

*As a pagan I think I can say that most of us view our God myths as simply stories to help us relate to the different aspects of diety. I am sure a few may take the myths literly, but most I know do not. *

I have a harder time believing that the mass of the entire universe (planets, stars, galaxies) can be compressed to the size smaller than a grain of sand as science says happened.
I'd like to see one of those grains of sand! Can you show me one!
