So we knew 700 years before Jesus was born that the Messiah would be born of a virgin.
It is a prophecy.
You're exactly right.
A female child has two X chromosomes.
A male child has an X and a Y chromosome.
The Y comes from the male.
And so in order for Mary to give birth to a male child, she would have to have a Y chromosome in her ovum.
How did that happen?
She wouldn't have, she just had two Xs.
She would not have the male, the Y chromosome.
So how can it come from the seed of a woman with, how does she get a Y chromosome?
Well, this was a big problem for one of the main, biggest defenders of Christianity in the world, two earned PhDs.
His name is Dr. William Lane Craig.
Dr. Craig doubted the virgin birth because he said, Mary can't give birth to a male child without a literal husband having sex with her because she doesn't have the Y chromosome.
So it bothered him.
And then he said, oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Scientists all around the world now agree the universe began to exist at some point in the past.
Therefore, whatever begins to exist has a cause behind it.
We now know the universe began to exist, so there must be a cause behind the universe.
