Thought so. But Mary was a virgin, right?
If you read the begats in Matthew 1 - they connect Abraham with Joseph, Jesus' father -- not Mary.

Seriously, you believe the whole lot is made up?
1) God created man in his image, and willed that an accurate record of God's works be created by the hand of man.
2) Several different men, at different times and in different places, created God in man's image, and cobbled together several books in order to support tales of God's works as described by powerful men of the times.
Which seems more feasible to you?
