A virgin birth in 2022 - what would the world make of that?

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, A virgin birth in 2022 - what would the world make of that?

What if this was the first Christmas? Would it bring peace and harmony or instability? 

Would it bring peace, harmony or threaten the established order? Would a more secular world be even more sceptical than that of 2,000 odd years ago? 

What if that first Christmas was this Christmas.
Would it bring peace, harmony or threaten the established order of things including the institutions of government and of faith? Would a more secular world be even more sceptical than that of 2,000 odd years ago? 

The virgin birth, for example, what would Twitter make of that? And what about technology, would our 21st century hi-tech prowess help to prove or disprove claims and counter-claims? Would DNA be of assistance in establishing some facts? 

And what is a fact in these days when some even question the moon landings?

Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with Dr Elaine Storkey, Dr Michael Wardlow and Dr Katy Radford.
