Budding? How about each child has 26 Chromosomes from their mother and 26 from their father, so yes, they are part of their mother and their father.

Not to be nit-picky, but there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell.

In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.

Did you get that last point? If Jesus got ALL OF HIS (chromosomes) from his mother, then, because the woman has two copies of the X sex chromosome and a male offspring HAD to have gotten the Y chromosome from someone other than his mother, you cannot say that Jesus came ONLY from Mary's body. We don't really know exactly how Jesus became implanted in Mary's womb, but we DO know it was not from normal procreation.

BTW...that snide and un-Christ like comment about Metmom's children was uncalled for. I think you owe HER an apology.

I do so appreciate the science lesson, however it is not needed. I do remember my basic human genetics.

We are speaking of the Son of God here and not the normal conception and birth of human. There obviously are some things which cannot be explained by physical science as we know it.

Also, no apology. It is not my fault she doesn’t seem to think her children are a part of her.
