Physicists have to accept quantum phenomena because of the experimental evidence of it. Those that claim a literal virgin conception for Jesus have two conflicting stories in pre-scientific texts which look a lot like other divine conception stories of the time like, for instance, the one about Caesar Augustus. It was a common practice to claim miraculous origin for heroes in those days. That's probably what happened here. Science doesn't jump to fantastical explanations when simpler ones are adequate.
