Den Poitras | Parthenogenesis: The Science of Virgin Births | Part 1 of 2
from VERITAS
It is said that Buddha's mother conceived her son while in a state of blissful meditation under a banyan tree. Mary conceived Jesus in more or less the same way. It's also been said that Zoroaster, Leonardo Da Vinci, Mary and Hanna, Mary's mother, and Moses (floating down a river in a basket?) plus Athena and Athena's mother, Plato, Alexander the Great, Horus and scores more geniuses, visionaries, leaders and healers throughout history are claimed to have come about this way. If many of the lower species can and do conceive parthenogenetically, I don't think it's too absurd or irrational to assume that humans can too. There are more questions than answers regarding this. Den Poitras has spent over 50 years searching, researching and contemplating. It thoroughly explores this "subject of subjects" through science, mythology, archaeology, religion, indigenous people and yes, personal testimonies.
