Holy Spirit is a Spirit. He doesn't produce any flesh. If God did so, it becomes the same situation of Nephilim ( Genesis 6:4) God hated the inter-marriage between the angels and women. Pagan gods may marry human beings.

It was brought up in our Genesis class that if "angelic beings" were able to procreate with human women. then the virgin birth of Christ would not seem as such an unusual event. I believe the person makes a good point here.

The virgin birth was a supernatural, creative act whereby God is manifest in the flesh.

This I agree with, as Jesus grew in Mary's womb for nine months. Unless Jesus did not have a
belly button (aka: umbilical cord), He drew all of His sustenance from Mary during that time.
Of course he drew his sustenance from Mary as would any other person as they are being formed in their mother's womb but this is completely different from any heriditary traits that this person would receive from its mother which occurs at conception.

It is my understanding that one may implant a zygote (a fertilized ovum from a completely different female) into the womb of a surrogate mother and such a surrogate would have no DNA relation to the child she would be carrying.

However, this child would draw its sustenance from the one that is bearing them just as they would with a natural mother.

Therefore, it is plausible that God could have implanted "Jesus Zygote" into Mary's womb thus impregnating her but one must ask why he would do so. I still side with Mary being the actual biological mother of Jesus including the obvious genetic physical characteristics that would be plainly seen when the two were together.

I am talking about the details of Virgin Birth without denying the virgin birth.
Virgin cannot produce any human body without the combination of Ovum and Sperm
Whose sperm was used?
God the Father is a spirit ( John 4:24) Holy Spirit is a spirit.
Both Godheads have no flesh
Even if God the Father or Holy Spirit produced any sperm to be fertilized with the ovum of Mary,
then the new human embryo would have no memory of the fellowship with the Father eternity before ( Joh 17:5) and the communication with Abraham( John 8:56-58). God doesn't have many Christ but only one.
Moses endured the reproach for the sake of Christ( Heb 11:26).
The new body and the new brain of the new person Jesus produced by Mary's ovum and the new sperm would not know what happen between Moses and Christ. Then there should exist 2 Christs which is a nonsense.
