1) Get scientists to suck it up and say, from behind a podium, that Christ was real and Mary was a Virgin at the time.
2) Explain that "Messiah" is metaphorical, that it's going to be a second virgin birth that saves mankind.
3) Suck it up even further, saying that the execution of this research is like using the healing power of Christ in every sick patient.
4) Profit. In all the right ways.
Parents make airplane noises to feed little kids, I'v promised women all kinds of shit over the years, and capital-S Science should do the same, if just this once. If we can just play their dumb games, we can finally get this thing rolling.
