God has 2 powers, ordered and absolute. Under his ordered powers, a virgin birth cannot happen. Under his absolute power a virgin birth can happen. His ordered power is how we have laws of science. His absolute power is how we have miracles.

I notice you attribute the works of Creation to His "ordered powers." Why is the idea of G-d's Absolute Power bringing the world into existence without the need of secondary natural causes so offensive to you?

Simple, He has two powers. Events can happen because He wills every step of the act (absolute) or because he supplies the trigger and the laws by which it will evolve (absolute followed by ordered). The vast majority of events happen because of his order power. Some events, like the start of the universe, happen because of his absolute power.
