The way I understand the Virgin Birth is that it was a miracle...the same as with blind people being able to see or dead people coming back to life again. It doesn't make sense on a cognitive level but it happened.

Having been part of a missionary program in the past, I have heard of a lot of miracles from people I completely trust. I don't think they were metaphorical!

I read some books that were actually really helpful to me when I was looking for some answers. You may have heard of them... "The Case for Christ" and "The Case for Faith." I thought they were really cool because they started off from the basics of the Bible and answer questions everyone has (how do I know this is true? Couldn't some random person have made it up? etc).

My belief is that if anyone goes searching for the truth and really has an open mind they will find it.
