Jesus had a prehuman existence in heaven, as the bible tells us he is the ONLY BEGOTTEN son of God. Look up begotten, by the way. When Jesus volunteered to become human and die for our sins, God placed him in Mary's womb as an embryo. Mary did not have sex, so she was still a virgin.

The Godhead consists of three entities. The term God (divine) is applied to the Father (Rom. 1: 7), the Son (Heb. 1: 8), and the Holy Spirit (Acts 5: 3, 4). While three entities comprise the Godhead (state of being God), they are one in nature, purpose, and thinking (cf. Jn. 14: 8-11). The scriptures never refer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Godhead) as gods. When "gods" is used, it refers to idols or pagan pantheons (Ex. 12: 12). Moreover, it is significant that the Hebrew adjective of singularity (one) is used with the plural noun God (Elohim). "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord" (Deut. 6: 4). Notwithstanding, the scriptures clearly present three separate and distinct entities or personalities: 2 Cor. 13: 14, Eph. 4: 4-6, Matt. 3: 13-17. the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are co-existent, co-eternal, and co-equal. A careful study of the nature of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveals a nature, properties, and characteristics which can only be found concerning God (theios). While there are circumstantial variations (i.e. the incarnation), such a study reveals no variations in the essential nature of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. If there had been any varying degrees and gradations of deity (such is really impossible, God is either God or not God, Isa. 46: 5-10), the incarnation would have been the opportunity. However, Jesus, in the flesh, remained God, modernism and some of my brethren to the contrary notwithstanding. Jesus did not "leave his essential nature in heaven (deity, dm) when he came to earth" (2 Cor. 8: 9). He simply disrobed himself of all the grandeur of deity which he enjoyed in heaven (Phili. 2: 6-10).The Father/Son presentation of God particularly and peculiarly pertains to the incarnation (becoming flesh) of the Logos (Word, Jesus, Jn. 1: 1-11). When the Word became flesh, he "assumed" the posture of Son (Jn. 3: 16, he was conceived of the Holy Spirit and Mary, Matt. 1: 20). In this role, he was quiescent to the Father (cf. 14: 28). Jesus (the Word) existed at the beginning and did the actual creating of all things which are created (Col. 1: 16). Jesus said, "…Before Abraham was, I am" (Jn. 8: 58). The verb tense of "I am" indicates His deity or eternality. Since Jesus and the Father necessarily shared divine commonalties, he could say "…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (Jn. 14: 9).

physical son of Mary, physical and Spiritual Son of God.
God added on 23 chromosmes to mary's egg to form the zygote, not through sperm, supernaturally therough the Holy Spirit, who gives Life. Since the Body came from human dna, of Mary alone (no man, but additional 23 chromosomes), he is Mary's physical son, just like anyone else born is the child of their mother.
God's essense and purity was used to "beget" Jesus Christ's soul, coming straight from God, and of God. He also acted as Son while on Earth, hence he is God the Father's Son.
hope that clears it up!

Mary was a virgin before she conceived the child which they named Jesus.
The Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost are the same.
Matthew 1:18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:20 - But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus was conceived in her of the Holy Ghost.

God empreganted Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit w/o taking her virginity. This, like many other Christian teachings, can't be fully explained with logic. It's a matter of faith.

Mary was told by an Angel that she will give birth to The Messiah. Her virginity intact, is called the Immaculate Conception.

Sorry if you're looking for only an answer in one religion, but by records in the Qur'an, we don't see him as the son of god, more as a Prophet. If you don't believe that Jesus was born of parthenogenesis, then it's no big deal. It's a choice of believe in miracles and whether or not God exists.

God created Jesus through Mary. Mary never had intercourse, yet still had Jesus by God creating him.
