The virgin birth of Jesus and the Immaculate Conception of Mary are two different religious concepts. The Immaculate Conception is the Roman Catholic doctrine which states that the Virgin Mary was conceived without any stain of original sin. I don't know whether Joseph or some other man was the biological father of Jesus, and it's extremely likely that we will never know who the real father was. I personally do not believe Mary was impregnated by a supernatural being or aliens from Alpha Centauri. I believe she became pregnant in the same way females get pregnant today.

Perhaps any of the incorruptibles were. I do not know. Mary became the Immaculate Conception officially in the 1800's just before the apparition at Lourdes, France.
The title refers to Mary, not to Jesus. It came about because of the divinity of Christ. In order for Christ to come into this world, the woman from whom He was born would have to be not only born without stain, but conceived without it.

Guys, remember that the Immaculate Conception doesn't refer to the virgin birth of Jesus (which all mainline Christians believe in) but to the notion that Mary didn't have original sin (which Roman Catholics and a few Anglicans believe).

It has been known to happen with certain species particularly fish.
A lot of religions down through the year have featured virgin births.
Also Anakin Skywalker was born through immaculate conception appearantly... :)

No. The Blessed Virgin Mary IS "The Immaculate Conception", "Ever-Virgin", all Holy mother of GOD and our spiritual mother! God bless.

There was never any immaculate conception, Mary just didn't want to get beaten by Joseph for cheating

Mary’s immaculate conception: This doctrine teaches that she was born without original sin, and was therefore sinless throughout her life. (http://www.contenderministries.org/Catholicism/mariology.php)
This is patently unbiblical.
Luk 1:46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Luk 1:47 and my spirit exulted in God My Savior.
If she was sinless, why did she need a savior?

No. Every other non-divine human being was stained by Adam's orginal sin, from the moment of their conception.

Nope, she was the only mortal human conceived without the stain of Original Sin. Jesus was as well of course, but He was divine...by definition, He was conceived without Original Sin.
