64per cent of those arguing against the idea of a virgin birth still believed in some sort of resurrection of Christ, whether physical or otherwise.

The apostles died proclaiming the physical resurrection of Jesus, not a banal "otherwise."

[Cicero]

I'm sorry to say, this doesn't surprise me.

"Bad translations"? We have the original Greek and Hebrew, and I very much doubt whether any of these folks can point out the spots where texts concerning the virgin birth were mistranslated.

Sure, there are a lot of bad Bible translations out there right now, but they are mostly the work of the past 20 or 30 years, under pressure from political correctness and the gender police. The NRSV, the New Jerusalem Bible, and most of the "new new" Bibles are to be avoided. They are not the product of credulous traditional Christian scholars, however; they are the work of modernizers and liberals.
