Sounds like another "Jesus Mythicism" or "Copied Osiris" myth that's been debunked 300 times
200 years ago “cool” only referred to temperature or people who were unfriendly. The definitions if words can change over time and unless you understand the context they are used within you can misinterpret what the original text meant. What seems to have happened is something like this based partly on the fact that Jewish experts do not actually believe their messiah needs to be born to a virgin.
The person who wrote the Gospel made a mistake. This is one if the many reasons why most Christian denominations do not hold literal views on all aspect of the Bible.
