Y Chromosome

Your option #1 poses quite a problem for Christianity.

Most Christians discount #1 and believe #2.

You can speak for most Christians?

Until very recently, I gave this matter no thought at all. What makes you think 'most' Christians have considered the chromosome issue?

The belief in the miraculous circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth is widely held by Christians and has been for many centuries.

The nature and definition of "miracle" takes care of "the chromosome issue", does it not?

That's not what I asked you.

It's the answer to what you asked me.

This is like asking ~ When Christians think about the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead, have they considered the fact that Lazarus was dead and that it was impossible to bring him back from the dead?

I disagree with your example.

I want to know if Christians have considered the chromosome issue specifically.

If no, they are now aware.
If yes, then maybe they have chosen the miracle option, as you have.

To Christians who believe in the miracle of Jesus' virgin birth, there is no "chromosome issue".

How have I "chosen the miracle option"? You realize I am not a Christian, right?

Why? The virgin birth ~ a miracle exempt from natural or scientific laws. Lazarus being raised from the dead ~ a miracle exempt from natural or scientific laws. What's wrong with the comparison?

I know you are not a Christian.....now.

But, you were. Did you consider this issue then?

So how is it you think I have "chosen the miracle option" as you claimed (above)?

Stuff like "the virgin birth" was of little or no interest to me when I was a Christian.

Miracles likely still must maintain physical law.

Meaning, Jesus must have the Y chromosome. You are trying to input a miracle that NT writers were not aware of.

Meaning......WE NOW view the chromosome issue as a possible issue, which they didn't know.

Then I question your Christianity.
