This reproduction of “life” through conception has never been explained, will never be, but remains an eternal mystery. What is life? We can only identify the physical parts through which life reveals itself–but the reality of the human life principle remains forever elusive. Life is the essence of God which He breathed into the lifeless form of Adam in the Garden and he became “a living soul.” Adam’s body contained the sperm of half-life that when joined with Eve’s ovum of half-life created the full-life of others and began the human race. Through them, the pattern was set that every individual born of mankind would have both a mother and a father. The Virgin Mary knew this and when told by the Angel that she would “Conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son …” she was astonished. Her answer was, “But! Sexually, I know not a man!” The Angel explained, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you!” Mary experienced conception, not by man, but by the Holy Spirit’s invasion of her body.
