Is there anything unnatural about artificial insemination?

If so what laws of nature are broken by it?

If a young woman who had never had sex was inseminated artificially, would she still be a virgin?

Since she has not had sex, she would be a virgin, thus a virgin birth.

Mormons believe in the virgin birth, all those talks you excerpted from will mention that Mary was a virgin, E.G. no sex.

So God did it himself, and Mary had no sex with him or anyone else, but wound up carrying God's child, genetically, physically God's child, but still no sex.

Disappointed?

Too bad. It's what we believe. No sex for Mary before Jesus was born, not with God, not with Joseph.

Heber C. Kimball who was a member of the first presidency said,"In relation to the way in which I look upon the works of God and his creatures, I will say that I was naturally begotten; so was my father, and also my saviour Jesus Christ.

How, pray tell is he describing "artificial insemination"?

I'll bet if SLC would ALLOW digging on Mt. Cumorah, the archeologists would find an old Nephite turkey baster...

And so with a twink of his wand, du invalidates the bible and turns all those prophets and apostles cited into false teachers.

He partook of flesh and blood—was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers," (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 115).

Bruce McConkie stated, "Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers," (Mormon Doctrine, 1966, p. 547).

So the mormon men are all conceived using a turkey baster?

Who to believe speaks for mormon teachings - the mormon president they named their university after and a more modern authority of mormon doctrines - or du.

BTW, Szonian's bring'em young's citations in JOD do not refer or mention the phrase 'virgin mary'. Mcconkie refers to 'mary' and not 'virgin mary'.
