On The Virgin Birth

I think the implication that IF Mary was not a virgin THEN Jesus was not born divine to be a major weakness in the article. Assuming for the moment that the Virgin Birth is a symbolic attempt to make parity with Jesus' status and Caesar, then the whole point of the symbol could be this: Caesar, and all he embodies is not God. Jesus, and all He was and is, IS God. God could just as easily become fully incarnate, at conception in a humanly conceived child. In fact the story would then be seen as an insistence or conviction that Jesus divinity was real an inherent. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater? It seems to me that the entire point of Jesus is lost if Jesus, from womb to tomb and back again is not divine, since it is meant to challenge the lie that Caesar is god. If the incarnated being is the second person of The Trinity, Jesus is both God and the Son of God regardless of the biological details of His earthly descending.
