Why a Virgin Birth?
I like Chuck Missler and read everything he produces. He is a Bible scholar who brings it down to "our level!" Here is a tease for you about the virgin birth and if you want more, click on the link below for the whole article.

"Every Christmas season our thoughts turn to the birth of Christ and to his mother, Mary. To some extent, we all take the nativity for granted. But why was Jesus born of a virgin? One answer, of course, is to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14: "Behold the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
But that's more descriptive than causal: why was it necessary in the first place? There are, of course, many profound theological issues inherent in the virgin birth. One way to view this issue is to address one of the problems it solves."
