I just might have something to do with the fact that we have the earth and, oh the whole rest of the universe, to examine in regard to the facts of its creation. Mary's not around anymore (nor any Jesus DNA) to examine scientifically.
I'm still trying to figure out why a literal six day creation that concluded just 5769+ years ago is any more irrational than a virgin birth.

If you can determine from the universe as it exists today that it could not have been created in six days 5769+ years ago because of the uniformitarian assumption, then you must also reject the virgin birth because such things simply don't happen. If you are going to exempt the virgin birth from the uniformitarian assumption, then you must logically exempt the creation of the universe from it as well.
The same uniformitarianism that insists that the natural processes that exist today formed the universe naturally after a single "instant" of supernatural creation must logically insist that J*sus have been conceived and born just like every other human being who has ever lived. Laws of nature, you know.
