While the theory of evolution is well accepted, it's not as well accepted as the fact (not theory) that a woman can't get pregnant without a man's sperm. I don't disagree with you there. Wars, murder and torture asside, religion can be very good.

Do you not realise how ridiculous that is? If you're prepared to take the leap of faith for the virgin birth, then why can't you take the same leap for the creation story? That would be no more daft than teaching them that a woman got pregnant without the involvement of a man.

It doesn't make sense that you'd complain most vociferously if someone attempted to preach the creation malarkey to your children, yet you think that Jesus's mum was a virgin. Neither idea is more ridiculous than the other.

Yep, got that. There are many, many Christians that won't. What do you think? Do you think that her being a virgin is a story, just like the creation story? Do you therefore accept that Jesus wasn't the son of God? He was a compassionate man that preached a good way of life?
