The Bible doesn't say much about the particular method.

Actually, it does:

31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. 33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? 35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
-- Luke 1:31-35

I'm pretty sure the word "father" involves intercourse with the "mother" by definition.

The VERB "father" or "to father" involves intercourse; however, this verb is NEVER used.

so they have interpreted the Bible story to mean magic pregnancy

No, we read it as meaning EXACTLY what it says, YOU are reaching an unsupported conclusion.

though earlier chapters talk about immortals having sex with the daughters of man.

What are you talking about?

I never specified a verb. Father Son and Holy Ghost sound familiar? What does "father" mean?

Read this really slowly and tell me it precludes sex
