No. Many of the ancient gods were born from virgin mothers. The Zoroastrian religion, which seems to have had a profound influence on Judaism, prophesied that the Sayoshant would be born of a virgin, and come to earth to fight evil and save humanity.The earliest gospel, that attributed to Mark, did not mention the birth of Jesus, and portrayed Jesus as the Son of God from the time of his baptism. The authors of the Gospels of Matthewand Luke each added material that provided an explanation of the birth and infancy of Jesus. They found that if the birth of Jesus was to be narrated and for Jesus to be the Son of God in any literal sense, then his mother Mary had to be a virgin. The concept of Mary's virginity is described in the Bible and is not a modern gloss.

Why is the virgin birth not in Mark's Gospel?
A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written and yet contained no reference to the birth of Jesus. In the view of John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. Spong points out that many religions of the Mediterranean region had stories of the virgin births of their gods and godmen. The first gospel reference to the virgin birth of Jesus is in Matthew's Gospel, which refers to the Book of Isaiah as a prophecy of the birth, however Spong does not believe the author took the idea of a virgin birth from Isaiah, but that he found it useful.From this we can see that the virgin birth of Jesus was an idea that had not yet arisen at the time Mark's Gospel was written.
