How do you expain this?
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.

Why do you ask a question you obviously think you know the answer to. Why do you need pats on the back to reinforce what you believe?
Jesus was a cool dude who taught love of self and love of others. He was a wonderful teacher and a Master Reiki practitioner, but he was no son of a virgin teenager and a deity. My opinion is just as valid as yours and I don't care if I get pats on the back or not -- it's still my opinion and it is much more logical than yours.
Quoted: "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."
If you believe God creates everthing and everyone, aren't all children conceived of the "holy ghost"? That doesn't necessarily mean that Christ is the biological offspring of deity.

In Matthew Joseph’s genealogy is given, notice that it says “Jacob begat Joseph”.
Matt.1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
In Luke Mary’s genealogy is given.
Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
The words “was supposed” (nomizo) in Greek means “as reckoned by law”. Joseph was Heli’s son in law and “begat” is not used.
Mary’s Father Heli’s genealogy is of Judah or the king line.
Mary’s mothers’ name is not given but we have some clues as to her lineage.
Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Elisabeth was of the daughters of Aaron or Levite.
Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
The word “cousin” (suggenes) in Greek means “kinswomen”.
Mary’s mother’s genealogy is of Levi or levetical priest line.
Hence Jesus Christ is our King and high priest.
Heb.5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Psa.110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Melchizedek (malkiy-tsedeq) in Hebrew means “King of Righteousness”.

OK...HERE IS YOUR ANSWER AS I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION...ARE YOU STUCK ON THE WORD LORD? IN THIS VERSE LORD REFERS TO FATHER GOD. AS FOR MARY BEING A VIRGIN, YOU SHOULD HAVE FOUND THE VERSE THAT EXPLAINS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AND DWELL-ED IN HER AND GOD THE FATHER OVER SHADOWED HER...THUS SHE CONCEIVED. IF YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHO MADE HER CONCEIVE THEN JUST READ THE VERSE I AM REFERRING TO. I HOPE THAT HELPS!

Jesus is God.
God consists of: God Himself (the Father), Jesus (our Salvation) and the Holy Spirit (that inspires us).
