I don't hear - least of all see - Jesus himself deny it, neither. After all, he hung around with twelve men, two of whom were sailors. One of said twelve kissed him. He didn't have a girlfriend, nor did he marry a woman (PROTIP: that Coptic papyrus. If proven to be genuine, then Christianity is fucked, certainly it's patriarchal structure; also the Catholic Church's clergy's 'celibacy' rule's right to exist). He wore a dress.
@Troll/Uneducated/Nuts4Life (emph-ass-is added):
"she simply created the embryo in her womb"
Nope, not seeing exact, precise verbatim wording in the Bible about that; remember: no 'Apologetics' allowed in discussion of the non-peer reviewed, non-secular Bible, which cannot be used to explain itself, least of all be admissable in court). So, Mary is superior to God? You said it, I didn't.
Actually, Mary was touched by His Noodly Appendage. Why?:
We now know that there's a deity more powerful than God:

A statue of Jesus annihilated, yet a 'Humanist' statue is still intact, still existing...? Do you have an explanation for this, if America is 'God's Own Country', as claimed by fundies?
Yet, the county where I live here in the UK, Yorkshire, is known as 'God's Own Country'. Nope, no tornadoes, hurricanes etc here (and I live in Hull, one of the Top 5 least religious cities in the UK), unlike the Midwest & Bible Belt states in the US. 'Tornado Alley'; Hurricane Katrina: devastated Louisiana, and churches annihilated. Yet, the 'sinful' Sodom & Gomorrah-esque French Quarter of New Orleans was barely touched. The only explanation (check one):
[ ] Your 'God' now hates you right-wing fundies, and now favours LGBT people, left-wingers, Atheists, women wanting abortions, et al.
[ ] Your 'God' has been usurped by aforementioned [i]superior[/i] deity Atheos. And we Atheists, LGBT people, left-wingers, women wanting abortions et al will be going to Heaven. No 'worship', 'faith' or 'belief' in said deity required.
Choose wisely. And considering the above facts, I suggest you start changing allegiances in terms of 'Gods'; taking into account Occam's Razor, Pascal's Wager, and a quote by a certain Marcus Aurelius, then I'm not the one who'll be buttsexed by a male demon in an eternal BBQ. More like, I'll be sexing up hot female demons, whilst enjoying tasty BBQ:

'Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.'
-Marcus Aurelius
Speaking as a Pastafarian, the afterlife we speak of springs to mind...! Atheos = His Noodlyness the Flying Spaghetti Monster? The above facts, omens, signs & portents etc, coupled with Pascal's wager (and the quote by Marcus Aurelius), means it's not looking good for you & your right-wing fundie ilk...! >:D
Occam's Razor slits Pascal's Wager up a treat. And the quote by Marcus Aurelius was way before Occam. Least of all before Pascal had made his 'Wager'.
Philosophically/Logically, and therefore Theologically, you're fucked, dearie. Can't deny the facts. And that's the way we roll here on Planet Reality.
