[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Catholic and know Mary was an unmarried woman known as a virgin.  Why are you people so obsessed with what anyone believes ?[/quote]

Because it is a little scary if people believe these weird things, without thinking them through. If she was a virgin, did Jezus only get her DNA? That is rather revolutionary.

Would be great if we can recreate this: imagine all the possibilities this would open up to infertile couples? No donor-sperm needed.[/quote]

From a genetics standpoint, I'd be interested in figuring out what Jesus's DNA is made of. Does the "father" (god) have DNA? Isn't Jesus technically also god, so does he have 100% of God's DNA, and none of Mary's? Or does he have 100% of Mary's, and none of God's? Where did he get his Y chromosome from? Does he have half human DNA (from Mary), and half something else? Muslims don't believe Jesus was god but they do believe in the immaculate conception - so where did Jesus's other genetic half come from?

I'm not Christian or Muslim (though I was raised Muslim) or some smaller branch religion, so I obviously don't believe in Jesus being divinely inspired (as a god or prophet), nor do I believe in immaculate conception or Mary's virginity when it comes to conceiving Jesus. But from a religious standpoint, I'd be curious how Christians, Muslims, or other smaller groups explain the genetic background of Jesus. [/quote]

bump - are there any religious explanations for the genetics of it all? [/quote]
