G'day. I'm Gary Stevens. Welcome to the afterlife of the History in the Bible podcast.

Afterlife episode 9, Miraculous Births.

Gettay, guys.

I'm back with another of my occasional afterlife episodes.

In this show, I am joined by Mernie Mayapolski of the fan of history podcast, and Gil Cadrone of the podcast of Biblical Proportions.

This time, we conduct a brief survey of some of the wondrous births to be found in the world's religions.

Of course, we cover what Christians consider to be the miraculous birth, that of Jesus to the Virgin Mary.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hello, everyone, all our fans and listeners of the three of our podcasts. We are here again,

the three of us in Barcelona, recording right around Christmas time. I'm here with Gary Stevens, and I'm here with

Gil Kidron in beautiful Barcelona. And we have a special episode today. I was talking with Gary,

and we said, let's do a special episode while I'm in Barcelona so the three of us can

have a similar time frame. We said, what should we talk about? I said, I think we should talk about

virgin birds because that's creepy, Bernie. That's a bit creepy. creepy? But I thought, you know,

Jesus was a virgin birth, so I thought maybe, Jesus was a virgin birth.

So I thought maybe we could talk about virgin birds.

And I said, there must be tons of them.

I've heard that there are.

You know, they said the Jesus story was ripped off, right?

So there must be a bunch of version birds and also miraculous birds.

Because, you know, we just know there were, right?

So I did some research, and I found that there are a whole bunch of miraculous or virgin birds.
