I worked in the Middle East for 5years. There, one's family tree is very important (hence the use of "bin" or "al",meaning "daughter" or "from" or "of"). To them, identifying the bloodline of the Son of God would have been normal and correct.

Let's pretend that we were born as adults, and had never heard of or read the Bible (and maybe were Middle Eastern too). We are also ordinary Joe Soap sort of people, with little education. We would doubtless accept Jesus's creation in Mary, as a new being never known before, without question. Why not? After all, it is the most normal, natural way for it to occur. Why, then, do some, with the benefit of years of advanced education, find it hard to accept something that is so straight forward? The Bible was written for ordinary men, let's not forget that.
