An M.D. told me it’s her opinion that Mary, the Mother of God, contributed the egg that formed Jesus and God contributed the sperm. I do not believe that God can have a sperm because God is a spirit, not a human (before Jesus was incarnate as fully God and fully man, of course). What do you think of the statement that God gave Mary a sperm?
 
We don’t know exactly how the Incarnation occurred. All that can be said with any confidence is that the Virgin Mary contributed to the conception all that a mother contributes to any conception and that God, in some way that is not given to us to know as yet, provided the rest. Going beyond that to speculation about God providing sperm risks profaning (i.e., making common) a sacred mystery of the Christian faith.
