Why is faith needed? Just look at the evidence and consider the probability.

I'm not against faith, if that's what you're asking. But I do look for reasonable ways to understand things. For example, I think it would make more sense to look at the idea of virgin conception in terms of what the authors of Matthew and Luke meant by it then to look at it as factual history.
