The only books of the Bible which have stories of the
supposed Virgin Birth of Jesus are Matthew's Gospel,
and Luke's Gospel.
Luke was not an eyewitness but compiled his Gospel
from other sources. [Luke chapter 1]
Matthew did not meet Jesus until after Jesus began his
ministry when he was 30 years old.
"""And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith
unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."""[matt 9:9]
So Matthew and Luke could not have been witnesses of
Mary's supposed Virgin Birth of Jesus.

So who are Mary's witnesses?
At Matthew 18:16, 2Corinthians 13:1 as well as other verses in the
Bible, the Bible establishes the principle ""In the mouth of two
or three witnesses shall every word be established.""
So who are Mary's two or three witnesses?

The interesting thing about a virgin birth is that it is impossible
to know if the one giving birth was a virgin after the baby is born.
If someone has been born of a virgin it is impossible to know
if that person has been truly born of a virgin. A virgin birth does
not leave a special mark on her offspring.

The only way to truly ascertain that Mary conceived as a virgin might
be if she had been regularly examined by two or three competent
gynecologists who could be her witnesses.

""In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.""
If Christianity cannot produce the two or three witnesses required by
Bible principle, then the supposed Virgin Birth is a fraud.

Who are Mary's Witnesses?

Even the most believing Christian scholars do not believe that the AUTHOR of Matthew is the same Matthew mentioned in the gospel. According to The New International Version of the Bible Matthew was written by a tax collector before 70 AD, but most scholars place it later than that.

I agree with you. Matthew's Gospel was probably not written by the Apostle Matthew.
But I am still asking the question. Who are Mary's Witnesses?
If there are no witnesses, then the virgin birth fails to meet the Bible standard of 2 or 3 witnesses and the virgin birth is a fraud.
