I believe that Jesus was born on Nisan 1, 5 BCE. This corresponds to March 9/10 in the Julian calendar.
Now I want to give three reasons why Jesus was born on Nisan 1.
-
Because it is exactly the same day that God's presence filled the Tent of Meeting (Ex 40:2, Ex 40:34). This event foretold the incarnation of God (Jhn 1:14, the greek word "skenoo" literally means "to tent"). On the same day that God came to earth to live in a tent, God also came to earth to live in a human body. In the New Testament we can clearly see that the old Jewish feasts are fulfilled in Jesus. Some examples: Jesus was sacrificed on the cross on the same day that the Passover lamb was sacrificed, because he is the true Passover lamb, the 14th of Nisan; and Jesus was resurrected on the same day that the first fruits were celebrated, because he is the first to rise from the dead to eternal life, the 16th of Nisan. So it makes sense that Jesus was born on a special Jewish day.

Since Jesus is the true Passover lamb (Jhn 1:29), it makes sense that Jesus was born in the month of Nisan, a spring month, because according to the law the Passover lamb must be 1 year old (Ex 12:5). 1 year before the Passover is the month of Nisan. So Nisan is the month when the Passover lambs were born. The shepherds who watched over their flocks on the day of Jesus' birth (Lk 2:8) were probably the shepherds who prepared the Passover lambs.
-
Nisan 1 is the beginning of the new year (Ex 12:2). Jesus was born on the New Year because he is the beginning of the new creation (2Cor 5:17).
From where did Jesus get his Y chromosome?
Conjoined twins are never fraternal, so it's not like Mary consumed her twin in utero and had a unique hidden supply of DNA available as a tumor inside her.
That's the cool thing about omnipotence.
Is that you don't have to use reason or your brain? Cool.
Because I can imagine an omnipotence that also would never do such a chaotic and specifically random thing.
So it's not about the power, really. It's mostly about the how.
Being that we're talking about a being that willed the cosmos into existence, willing a single fertilized egg to exist isn't that random.
No? Willing or necessitating the existence of a universe is elementary and linearly logical.
There's nothing logical about a fertilized egg blinking into existence in a random virgin womb.
The difference you ignore, between a quark and a chromosome, is as enormous as the difference between a rock and a cell phone.
The creation of anything as massive as a chromosome will release more energy than a human body can withstand. If those atoms came into existence inside her out of nothingness, she would have exploded into e=mc² bits.
There was nothing random about that selected womb. And you're trying to place human limits on omnipotence.
