>>Why would Mary ask the Angel how the birth of Jesus was to come about because she did not “knowâ€� man? Obviously, she knew the biological part of having a child and she was already espoused to Joseph. Even if she didn’t know the actual biological part of the equation every child or young adult knows that children result from marriage. This question/conversation only makes sense unless Mary was a virgin and planning on continuing to be one.<< Seriously? If you come up to a woman who has not yet had sex and tell her you are an angel from God and you were going to give birth to God's child, would you not ask the same question at the git go? Naturally there would be follow-ups.

You have not answered the question as to the logic of the argument. Why did Mary ask how it would happen if she was already betrothed?

Yeah, seriously, how else does it make sense, the Angel was talking in the future tense; she had know plans of knowing a man.
