    Wouldn’t the Y chromosome come from God, and that’s where Jesus inherited this magic from?

    Although Mary just went straight to heaven without dying, so maybe she had some magic in her genes…

    All I know is the earth is definitely older than the sun.

      I’m very sorry, but the first thought that popped into my head is of Mary opening up, going “alright if you get it in this time it’s 50 points!”.
      “He shoots he scores!”

      I can’t imagine they’d have turkey basters in those days.

      Then the girl and her doctor get to have giggles over an intact corona and an actively progressing pregnancy.

      growing up in that time with Turner syndrome would have made for a very empathetic individual, and could very well have been the lynch pin to her teachings.

        What about Timmy Turner?

        I feel like having fairy god parents would make pope duties a lot easier. Make his blessings a bit more potent.

          Ok, him, Tina Turner and Detective Scott Turner of & Hooch fame, but no more! Under no circumstances must Ted Turner or anyone related to him be allowed to pope around.

    Since she was supposedly human, the only X chromosomes theory is the most solid. Unless the holy ghost was not so ghost and had a more material way to make mary pregnant.

      Its apologetics 101. Start with the presupposition that the bible is correct, then find any way to make it not conflict with itself or with observations. Mary was a virgin, Jesus is male, only lizards can do that, the Bible doesn’t say she wasn’t a lizard, and yay we did an apologetics!

    How do they get their own story wrong? His mom wasn’t the virgin, he had at least one sibling. It’s her that was born of a virgin, in other words jebus’ granny was supernaturally told to gfy and did it so well she’s made a clone called Mary.

    Edit: somebody mad lol

      Literally never heard of this. Besides, “their story” is exactly that. The story they made up/went with.

      Her pregnancy came through the Holy Spirit. She was not married at the time and Joseph wanted to leave her when he heard she’s pregnant (but an angel explained to him in a dream what is going on). That’s the story according to the Bible, so not sure what you’re talking about.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception#:~:text=Popular devotion and Ineffabilis Deus,-The eventual creation&text=1303–1373)%20told%20how%20Mary,and%20free%20of%20sexual%20lust.

        "Popular devotion and Ineffabilis Deus

        The eventual creation of the dogma was due more to popular devotion than scholarship.[34] The Immaculate Conception became a popular subject in literature and art,[6] and some devotees went so far as to hold that Anne had conceived Mary by kissing her husband Joachim, and that Anne’s father and grandmother had likewise been conceived without sexual intercourse, although Bridget of Sweden (c. 1303–1373) told how Mary herself had revealed to her that Anne and Joachim conceived their daughter through a sexual union which was sinless because it was pure and free of sexual lust.[35]"

        It’s the “original” that people misunderstand repeatedly to the point they think it’s a different story.

      That’s not what Catholics or orthodoxes believe and considering it’s hard to find a take on Christianity that isn’t held by any Protestant group I’m not likely to believe any of them as the word on Christianity.

      Catholic doctrine is that Mary was a virgin who today we would consider a child/adolescent who was married but not consummated with a laborer descendant of David. She was asked by an Angel to bear Jesus and accepted without hesitation. And she remained a virgin until she ascended to heaven body and soul at the end of her life.
