Yeah, he is of God, we know that. But he was born of Mary ... you can't deny that.

Sure we can. He was born of God; the Scriptures say repeatedly that He was made of a woman.

Ok, Bible scholars. Answer me these questions.

Define "born of" versus the idea of "made of." Please use the Bible as your promary source, as you know the dictionary lies.

In doing so, explain why and how the phrase "born of" is used to indicate genetic inferitance and not the process of expelling a child from one's womb.

Furthermore, assuming your bizarre premise, what does it mean for Jesus to be "made of a woman"?

If anything, I'd think "born of" could, in a stretch, mean Mary as a "surrogate mother". Made of sounds even more like Jesus had some sort of genetic relationship to Mary. Which is exactly the opposite of what newgeezer and biblewonk say the words imply.
