A couple of months ago my local newspaper (www.theage.com.au) published
an opinion from a columnist (who was a legitimate minister of some kind
IIRC), suggesting that the virgin birth of Jesus was an artifact of many

interesting argument - and one that brought in a lot of irate letters to
the editor!
