Consider this hypothetical:A 17 year old young woman is a virgin, i.e., she has never engaged in sexual relations with a man.Eggs are taken from her body and undergo in vitro fertilization.The eggs are then placed back in her body.Still she has never engaged in sexual relations with a man.The baby/fetus develops full term and at 9 months is born.Still she has never engaged in sexual relations with a man.

Technically, yes. Why

At the point in time, there was no such thing as IVF. The point of Mary saying she had never known a man was that she was saying, in so many words, How can this happen since there is no seed/fertilization?

A virgin birth is possible in our time as well.1. No, such a virgin birth IS NOT miraculous.2. No, the father would not be God.3. No, the child would/could not serve as a vicarious sacrifice for sin.

No. The seed would still be corrupted

Why would she go and do somethin' like that? That would be a foolish thing to do

Ya mean like a serpent seed? No. Like the seed of Adam. Corrupted by sin and passed down to us. The Adamic nature
