You catholic apologists throw assertions around like rose pedals, yet you have not one shred of proof of your idolatry's: “human genetic and gestational source”. If you do not understand biology, then I will grant a pass. But you DO know biology. So, prove your assertion that Mary is a source of genetics for Jesus conception. I will agree, she gestated the baby in her womb, but as you know, the mother gestating the baby does not mix any thing in the amniotic sac or contribute ANY blood to the gestating child. The child builds ALL OF ITS water world accouterments and body for life in the air world.

Another post from you and another unfounded assertion. Typical catholic apologetics.

This is absolutely crazy

I did not assert anything about Mary's blood cells crossing the placental barrier --- I will prescind, of course, from any discussion of feto-maternal microchimerism.

Every natural mother (not speaking of IVF-with-donated-ova and other artificial reproductive technologies) is the genetic and gestational source of her child's body.

Perhaps this discussion is suffering from some weird ambiguity about what "genetic" and "gestational" mean.

Mary is the genetic, gestational, parturient, lactational, legal, social, psychological and sociological mother of Jesus Christ our Lord. Previous to this very thread, I had not even imagined any Christian denying that.
