What makes the notion of a "virgin birth" so attractive?

Asked by saint (3975points) October 31st, 2011

Plenty of folks believe that Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin. And yet, everything that anybody knows about the biological mechanics of conception requires sexual intercourse. Certainly in the time of the Ancients. So given the fact that nobody got pregnant 2000 years ago without “doing the deed”, why do people still imagine that a vigin conception is possible, much less virtuous.
