That, and the Immaulate Conception was the birth of MARY not the birth of Jesus. The Immaculate Conception is the idea thought of my bored theologans that says that because Christ Jesus was without sin his mother must not carry original sin. The (the Immaculate Conception) is clearly not the same as the Virgin birth.

People can say they are taking it literally, but they can't be, because 1. this isn't the same bible that was written oh so many thousands of years ago, 2. Its impossible to talk about a story and not interpret... that's exactly what interpretaiton means-reading a story and figuring out what it means
