Last night as I laid in bed letting my mind wander as I drifted off to sleep, a theory/realization came to my mind. My thoughts started off on how now, with the help of science, a woman can fertilize another woman's egg by using bone-marrow or some other for of material that holds the proper information of DNA. A child born of this way will always be female, because the only chromosomes being provided are the X chromosomes. Y Chromosomes, which are needed for male children are only carried by males.
As I continued down this train of thought, I began to think about how if a woman could inseminate herself, again the child would be female because the only DNA being provided would be female. Which then got me thinking about the many religious stories about immaculate conception, specifically the story of Mary and Jesus. It was then that I realized, because immaculate conception is self insemination, it would mean one of two things;
1) None of the women who became pregnant were Virgins, because if they had given birth to a male child, they had to have sex with someone who could provide the Y Chromosome, deity or otherwise. And that action in itself removes the status of being a Virgin.
2) If the women were indeed Virgins, then that would mean the children born were in fact female. This means two scenarios would have happened for Christianity:
- Either the man we know as Jesus was actually in fact the husband of the female prophet, having to speak for her since in that society a woman's word when it came to anything, especially religion, was completely ignored.
- Or religious leaders did some serious heavy editing to make the woman a man instead.
(both scenarios either way would really give new meaning to what would be considered as the Holy Grail)
The truth of the matter is, this wouldn't be too surprising considering how much the Church and other organized religions are very much for being Patriarchal and suppressing women and taking away any form of power or influence they used to hold in many Pagan societies.
Now, for those who might argue the whole miracle of God thing, in order for Mary to have gained the Y Chromosome, he would have had to take physical form in order for that chromosome to be passed on, again, negating her Virgin status.
As for the stories of deities who immaculately conceived, again for the sake of the article we are going to assume the stories are true and they are deities. We don't know anything about their genetics, nor how things would work scientifically for them. Which means it is quite possible their women also carried a Y Chromosome of some sort, so they could give birth to both females and males. I mean, considering Zeus gave birth to Athena from his forehead, with her fully dressed in armour, there is definitely a lot that is a complete mystery when it comes to the Gods and Spirits.
If my theory is correct, this would mean that this is probably the biggest secret the Vatican, and a number of serious religions leaders of organized religions are keeping from everyone else's knowledge.
In the end, this is merely a theory, and until there is any way to prove these stories are even remotely true, theories will remain as theories.
