You know, we could even grant them that a virgin birth is not impossible, without conceding that it's a miracle. Fish, amphibians, maybe reptiles, and a host of other life forms are known to reproduce asexually, even if many normally do engage in sexual reproduction. I don't believe it's been observed in birds, and I'm sure never in mammals. But that doesn't mean it's impossible!

Or miraculous.

    More likely intersex, though there's no documented cases of completed pregnancies from one person impregnating themselves (I'm about to do some googling, but last time I did all I came up with were tabloids). I'd think it more likely the whole virgin part was a lie. Plenty of those kinds of cases with individuals and families trying to cover up a young child's innocence, unfortunately
