The miracle of the birth of Jesus is the miracle of all of our births. From the joining of a sperm and an egg, an amazing journey of embryogenesis and fetal development occurs, and we arrive on the earth.
The Bible's story of creation pales compared to the reality of this miraculous process. If those early storytellers had our current knowledge, then no doubt, the story of Jesus would be quite different. The danger of story telling, whether it is about Santa or Jesus, is that it removes the sacredness of the reality of life and dissociates it into the realm of whether you believe the story or disbelieve the story. Meanwhile life continues its miraculous process of form making and form dissolving.
