Only a person 'programmed' into a particular religious belief system might believe that.
The bible is actually made up of old stories that are all prior the A.D. period. They are a mix of ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and in fact the whole Middle East and beyond. There have been a number of Divine children throughout history because these stories are concepts not real people, although real people were used to portray them. What has happened is that people started taking literally what should have been taken symbolically.
