On that virgin birth thing...

I find the "mistranslation" explanation to be the most likely... That the old word for 'virgin' was very close to the old word for "young girl" and the whole thing is a mistranslation...

Kinda like the old testament "Thou Shalt Not Kill" thing... (Which in the original document, most likely reads, "Thou shalt not murder"... A subtle but important difference)
