Out of curiosity, and I mean no offense, but if God (rather than a man) created the children in your womb, what's so special about Mary?

18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins." Fantastic question for the Christmas season. Maybe some of the posters are unaware of the story :-)

So how does that differ from what God did to you?

13 years of Catholic school would make it hard to forget. :)
