Atheist Demands: 'Where Did Jesus Get His Y Chromosome?'... Then This Happens

From Totus Catholica

The Virgin Birth's Impossible Genetic Proof (DNA Science) Science says every human male gets his Y chromosome from his dad. The Creed says Jesus had no human father. The Church says it's a miracle you've misunderstood - the virginal conception isn't a biological accident, it's a divine creative act. Human males are XY, females are XX. No woman naturally produces a Y chromosome. Even in rare cases of virgin birth in animals, you only get females because mammalian development requires both maternal and paternal genetic signals. If Jesus was biologically male, He needed a Y chromosome - and if Mary conceived Him virginally, there was no human sperm. 📌 The Point: The science doesn't disprove the virgin birth - it shows you exactly how impossible it would be without God. The Y chromosome question is about whether God can create and whether salvation comes from Him or from us. 📖 Core Sources The Genetic Facts: Human males are XY, females are XX; Y chromosome carries 106 protein-coding genes responsible for male development, transmitted exclusively through the paternal line Mammalian parthenogenesis (unfertilized eggs developing into organisms) produces only females due to genomic imprinting - certain genes require both maternal and paternal contributions to function properly Natural virgin birth of a male mammal is impossible Scripture: Luke 1:35 - Angel Gabriel to Mary: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you" Luke 1:38 - Mary's response: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word" Matthew 1:18 - Mary was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit before she and Joseph came together Catholic Teaching: CCC 496 - "From the first formulations of her faith, the Church has confessed that Jesus was conceived solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, affirming also the corporeal aspect of this event" CCC 464 - Jesus Christ is true God and true man; the incarnation means the eternal Son assumed a human nature from Mary by a unique creative act of the Holy Spirit CCC 456 - "The Word became flesh for us men and for our salvation" - virginal conception protects the truth that Jesus is not merely another human teacher but the eternal Son taking flesh Early Church & Councils: St. Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110 AD) - "Jesus as truly of the race of David according to the flesh, Son of God according to the will and power of God, truly born of a virgin" Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) - Christ is perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity; consubstantial with the Father as to divinity, consubstantial with us as to humanity, "like us in all things but sin" Lateran Synod (649 AD) - Mary "conceived without seed and incorruptibly bore Jesus, her virginity remaining indestructible" What the Church Does NOT Define: No chromosomal mechanism, no molecular pathway, no genetic blueprint for how the Holy Spirit accomplished this miracle The church leaves the mechanism open while binding the fact of virginal conception The Catholic Understanding: Miracle and natural law operate in different categories - the miracle is not that nature produced something unusual, but that God acted directly to create what nature alone could not Think of Adam, who also had no biological parents yet possessed a complete human genome, including a Y chromosome - God miraculously provided whatever was necessary Christianity is not claiming a rare biological trick; it's claiming divine creative power 📺 Chapters 0:00 - The Genetic Tension: Males Need Y Chromosomes, Females Don't Produce Them 2:32 - What the Church Binds Us to Believe (CCC 496, Ignatius, Chalcedon) 4:30 - What the Church Does NOT Define (No Chromosomal Mechanism Specified) 5:07 - The Miracle Is Divine Creative Act, Not Biological Accident (Think of Adam) 6:10 - Objections: "Science Disproves It," "Only Two Gospels Mention It," "Makes Sex Dirty" 7:30 - What This Mystery Reveals About Salvation (CCC 456) 🌐 Connect 📿 https://totuscatholica.org/rosary 🌍 https://totuscatholica.org/ ✉️ https://totuscatholica.org/contact 🔍 https://catholicexaminationofconscien...
