No. It’s universally accepted by all Christians that God impregnated Mary, and Jesus was his son. Very much in the same fashion that Hercules was the son of Zeus, and similar to how the Nephilim were the offspring of women and gods.
It just so happens that huge numbers of people have for thousands of years and continue to believe in supernatural beings who interacted with the natural world. It’s not a matter of intelligence nor maturity—it’s a conviction about how the world works, and unless you have been immersed in this worldview I would imagine it is difficult to grasp. But it doesn’t really enhance your own view to cast aspersions on the beliefs of others, or to manufacture straw-men out of their beliefs. It is sufficient to reject Christianity on it’s actual merits without resorting to ridicule.
