#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

So we knew 700 years before Jesus was born that the Messiah would be born of a virgin.

It is a prophecy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

You're exactly right.

A female child has two X chromosomes.

A male child has an X and a Y chromosome.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

The Y comes from the male.

The Shawn Ryan Show

And so in order for Mary to give birth to a male child, she would have to have a Y chromosome in her ovum.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

How did that happen?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

She wouldn't have, she just had two Xs.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

She would not have the male, the Y chromosome.

#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

So how can it come from the seed of a woman with, how does she get a Y chromosome?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

Well, this was a big problem for one of the main, biggest defenders of Christianity in the world, two earned PhDs.

The Shawn Ryan Show

His name is Dr. William Lane Craig.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

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.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

So it bothered him.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

And then he said, oh, wait a minute.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

Wait a minute.

#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

Scientists all around the world now agree the universe began to exist at some point in the past.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

Therefore, whatever begins to exist has a cause behind it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#265 Lee Strobel - Who is the Real Santa Claus & What Evidence Connects Jesus to Christmas?

We now know the universe began to exist, so there must be a cause behind the universe.
