World English Bible
James 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother`s womb, and be born?"
James 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can`t enter into the kingdom of God!"

I would submit to this forum, friend hosepipe, that Jesus was describing a process He knew to be the evolutionary process God instituted, where a being is 'born' of the woman's body (exits the water world of the womb) and 'born' of the Spirit, to enter into the kingdom of God, the next reality of the Universe.

Um, typo ... those passages are from John’s Gospel, chapter 3, not James. Need coffee, or a nap. LOL

Being "born again" like most spiritual things it is metaphorical.. Describing the "Spirit" or even the "spirit" in human language is weak it takes a word picture to approach showing the observation.. Being "born again" is a word picture of something else.. the term is pregnant..
