IF you can figure out how God can be born when he already existed, you may be on to something...
You guys are trying to put a human spin on something where the answer is spiritual and way beyond your pay grade...

By your own words, you are showing that you are the one putting a "human spin" on the Incarnation, i.e., if you can't figure it out, it must not be true. Actually, all the Christological heresies -- Nestorianism, Arianism, Monophysitism, Monothelitism, etc., etc., are attempts to reduce the great Mystery of the Incarnation, always celebrated by the Church in prayer and hymnody, to something mere human reason can understand. Again, reducing Christ to the "manageable."

Did Iscool say he “had it figured out?” He said if YOU could figure it out you might be onto something. Doesn’t sound like Iscool said he had it figured out.

Seems to me that ol’ habit of putting words into mouths is creeping in again.
