However, the process of parthenogenesis (virgin birth) is commonly seen in nature. This has led me to conclude that it could happen in "higher" forms like mammals and even humans, though it is so improbable that if it were to occur you would call it "miraculous." Thus, I end up making a statement of faith regarding the birth of Jesus Christ.
By virgin do you mean where the hymen is not broken or do you mean never having had any sexual contact (speaking of humans)?

I don't see how, sans the miraculous or medical intervention, a woman can possibly conceive and never had sex. What explanation is there otherwise?
