Answering Atheists - On the How of Virgin Birth
Let's see the atheistic position. Skeptics claim that virgin birth is impossible ,therefore Christianity is not true. The impossiblity of virgin birth indicates their assumption of naturalism . Their actual argument is
1.There is no God
2. Virgin birth is impossible
3. Therefore Christianity is false.
If there is no God , then you don't need virgin birth to show Christianity is false. They are actually begging the question , assuming the absence of God and therefore miracles.
But there are lots of good arguments for the existence of God , like the Kalam cosmological argument , the ontological argument and the moral argument to name a few.
Therefore , God exists and therefore miracles are possible . The miracles themselves point to a divine creator. Many people become believers after experiencing miracles. Jesus did miracles as signs so that people can believe he is the messiah.
The denial of miracles by skeptics is mainly due to their naturalistic bias.
God is omnipotent . He created everything from nothing. This is called 'creation exnihilo'.
Virgin birth is very possible , especially as we see many fertilization clinics cropping up ,providing services through which the any woman can become pregnant even if she is a virgin. If man can bring about virgin birth now , how much more God. God brought about the conception of Jesus in the same way artificial insemination would have done today.
The denial of virgin birth is only valid if the skeptics can prove for certain that God is not there. Since they have not done so and cannot disprove God , virgin birth stands as a witness and testimony and evidence for the truth of Christianity. Naturalists are biased and have assumed what they wanted to prove. They cannot even prove , in the face of modern scientific evidence that virgin birth is impossible. Attacking the virgin birth is an outdated argument that does not hold ground and exposes the circular reasoning (logical fallacy)of the skeptics .
