I've been expecting this answer for some time now. Waiting for it actually.
If the authors of the gospels are writing by inspiration from God Himself that, would explain how they knew everything; not just the virgin birth, but also what happened to Jesus, and what he said, when he was off by himself.
And if they got it straight from God, that Mary was a virgin, if we want God then, we better embrace it.
Why do you think it's one of the five fundamentals of the fundamentalist creed?

I suspect that no one here actually believes in the virgin birth. They're just afraid to express their unbelief for fear of divine retribution. They don't want to slide into the mindset of those "atheists" and "agnostics" that they have been taught were evil since they were children. That's why when we express these ideas here it causes adverse emotional reactions. But, appeals to fear and threats of negative labeling are not logical bases for believing anything.
