I 've been doing some reading and i found some confusing stuff. Perhaps i can be set straight?
According to the Catholic Church, a miracle can only occur after the person has died -- I'm a little confused here. If this is true, then The conception and birth of Jesus was no miracle because Mary was alive when it happened?
And while we speak of Jesus as "virgin born," the actual miracle was not in His birth, but in the conception. The angel said to Joseph, "that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
So according to Catholic doctrine, Immaculate conception - not virgin birth - is the miracle,which means God could have chosen any used up old crack whore to be a 'holy baby oven' because virginity wasn't a necessary requirement in order to reproduce the Christ - only a womb - not a hymen - was required. Mary could have been a sexual pincushion for an entire Roman Legion and still been eligible to produce the Messiah. Am I right so far?
BUT - If the Catholics believe that miracles can only occur after a person has died, and Mary was alive for the "immaculate conception", by their own reasoning the conception /virgin birth can't be divine..and if the birth of Jesus is no miracle he can't be the son of God. Correct?
"But virgin births don't occur without divine intervention!", you say.....but I found these articles....A female white spotted bamboo shark at the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit surprised zookeepers in July by giving birth to two babies.

....and they say to me a number of things.
1. Immaculate conception is not a miracle ergo Jesus is not the son of God,
2.Mary the mother of Jesus is some sort of parthenogenic mammalian reptile, turkey or a hermaphrodite - which means Jesus is also part lizard or turkey
3. Immaculate conception Is a miracle, which means the sharks are lying and have been getting some on the side...or...Christ has returned and is a reincarnated jesus shark. - (3 sharks say they're Jesus - one of them must be wrong...)
3. Mary is lying and wasn't actually a virgin (she is a woman after all so its extremely likely)
"parthenogenesis", a mode of reproduction in which the egg is not fertilized." Parthenogenesis has been documented in many reptiles," . "There are at least five or six species of snakes, and it's been known in salamanders, lizards, and even a breed of turkeys. "A third possibility is that the Belle Isle bamboo shark is a hermaphrodite, harboring both male and female sex organs, and capable of fertilizing its own eggs. "
