This article misuses the word and concept of “proof”, assumes every critical fact, without a basis other than the Bible saying so, and continues St. Thomas’s bad habits in logic and reasoning.

The bits about genetics, the role of sperm, and “female sperm” is essentially unsupported by modern science.

Any chance “virgin” could have meant young and/or unmarried woman? Could a change meaning of the word through 2000 years and three languages have over complicated this?

Any chance “virgin” could have meant young and/or unmarried woman?

It could have, and sometimes did, linguistically. However, since the earliest years of Christianity, it has been understood that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and the son of Mary, with no human father.

True if that was all that we have to go on.

Luke 1
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

She was a virgin because she had not known a man, as for the rest of your comment, I agree.
