The easiest way to refute such questions is by pointing out that we can have EVIDENCE of the guys who constructed the building--chances are, there's a name plate somewhere on the structure saying "ACE CONSTRUCTION CO. 1974" or some such. Plus, we know from seeing other skyscrapers in the process of construction that other buildings must also have been built by other human beings. We have evidence of the existence of humans. Where is the evidence for BibleGod? Nobody has ever seen this mysterious entity, nobody can provide proof of his existence other than vague statements like, "I can feel him in my heart." Maybe that's just heartburn.
Also, you can say, "If everything has a builder, then wouldn't that include God? Where did he come from?" Of course they will say that God has always existed. If they can postulate the eternal existence of something they have never seen or talked to, something for which ZERO evidence exists, then what is wrong with postulating the eternal existence of something we CAN see, experience, examine, test, and observe with all of our senses--namely, the universe?

Depending on the kid...some kids I wonder if they were hatched.
edit: If the little boy was conceived in vitro then sex was not a factor between the parents. So, it could be feasible the mom was a virgin in this case (the syringe doesn't count)
now..about those construction workers...err..I mean builders

When I see a boy walking around I usually just search my memory wondering whether I remembered to lock the car.

Does he know magic tricks? (e.g. Can he make it look like he's walking on water?) If so, then B.
Irreverend: couldn't he have gotten a Y chromosome from his Heavenly Father?

I assume some guy anonomously donated his sperm and now that boy is living with his two mothers.

A boy being born has nothing to do with the existence of God.

If Yeshua was truly virgin born he would have been a she.
