She also could have been the victim of rape and Joseph trying to protect her, instead of her being a cheater and Joseph being dumb. If they both did exist of course.
Jesus did exist too but he was a regular human and some kind of pop star at the time
Hence Jesus Christ Superstar
I doubt he was a pop star at the time as the genre pop wasn't invented back then :P
That's why I wrote "some kind of"
She could also have been a hotwife and he could have been a cuckold. The possibilities are endless.
What's impossible is the holy ghost impregnating her.
Never thought about it. Thank you.

Sounds better. You could say "adulterer" or "cuckolder" for different flavours.

“Yes, (…) [but] the chances of these all happening in real life are virtually zero.”
“(…) one of her eggs would have to produce, on its own, the biochemical changes indicative of fertilization, and then divide abnormally to compensate for the lack of sperm DNA.“
That would never result in a viable human
And it would never be male without a "Y" chromosome
Yes, I read the article too.
The movie "Bringing Out the Dead" taught me that!

"It was all because of that damn APPLE, im tellin' ya!"
...hey Joseph. Yeah. You know how we never have sex? YEAH! Well an angel came to me and I'm pregnant. JESUS CHRIST! Oh you already know about it!
I guess the pilgrims must have been on the good shit to not see the cap.

Mary was not married though.
