I know an awful lot of Buddhists. None of them believe any such thing.

Just where do you get this stuff?

When every man is his own Pope and Chief Theologian, anything is possible. BTW, every Buddhist I know recognizes that he was born a man, taught as a man and died as a man, never a God and never a product of some bestial pagan myth. But what do I know?

There are dozens of sources which refer to the white elephant. Do a simple google and pick a couple.

Here is one source - http://www.kbi.com.au/cgi-bin/engine.pl?Page=page.html&Rec=38

The Buddha was conceived into the womb of his mother, Mayadevi (by taking the form of a White Elephant descending from Tushita and entering the womb immaculately).
