""As the level of education rises, the number of people who believe in materially impossible tales such as... literal resurrection of the dead; and the Virgin Birth diminishes. ". But since the dead shall rise, and the Virgin Birth did happen, obviously these things are / not/ impossible, and it is /not/ a mark of education to say they did not, or cannot, happen. The "education rises" statement does show that the schools are good at turning believers into atheists, but this is only education if what it passes on is /true/.
PS: why is a virgin birth "materially impossible"? I would think with modern in-vitro fertilization and cesarian birth that biological virgins giving birth is physically possible, and quite possibly factual.
