BTW, the angel told her how it was going to be. Nobody ever asked her permission.

WOW !!!

Where in the WORLD do you get THIS! Did you go back in time and witness this yourself, or do you have some divine connection to verify this to be true?

I guess you don't believe in the Immaculate Conception either. Tell me how did Mary get pregnant with our Lord Jesus Christ (God)

Here. In Scripture.

Luke 1:26-37 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

No asking permission there. He told. She submitted willingly.

Like many people God used in the past, He TOLD them how it was going to be. Some of them fought it, like Moses and Jonah. Some didn't.

But HE is the Creator. HE is the LORD of all.

HE has the right to do with His creation as He sees fit and needs no human's permission to do so.
