Hadn't thought about it putting an odd twist on things.

But I suspect routine cloning virgin births would cheapen the notion of the IMACULATE CONTRAPTION--ERR CONCEPTION. Cloning would be the socalled imaculate contraption.

Alas, given today's excuse for morals, there probably would STILL be no such thing as a truly VIRGIN birth. Almost any modern canal, sadly even among what 50-75% of the "Christians" has been well exercised--too often by more than one exerciser.

But it could also point to the idea that if man can do imaculate contraptions so "easily," God should have had an easy time with the IMACULATE CONCEPTION. It COULD encourage faith.

Using modern techology, it will become possible (though it is an abomination) to clone any, including virgins. But Mary's conception occurred with God as father - with God seemingly providing the other half of the chromosomes needed to create a human. That's far different from cloning!

I have no doubts that God can do virgin births, resurrections, animals speaking, etc. I just don't think He did.
