>Yes I am omnipotent and could simply materialize my son (who is also me) out of thin air HOWEVER I decided to impregnate a preteen girl instead
What was his problem?

Say you want to incarnate as a regular human™, wouldn't you say that actually being birthed count as part of that average experience?
obviously the Son could have just appeared and went on to do the Will of God; he already did that in the past, in the Old Testament.
But the Son didn't do that. He incarnated as fully Man (including all the indignities that condition implies) and fully God to try and redeem the Hebrews as one of them, and if He could not, provide the possibility of salvation to all the willing through an example. The crucifixion might be the centerpiece of the Biblical narrative, but it is the Resurrection, where the living Man Jesus shows his still-wounded body without any pain or sorrow, just like he told Martha long before as recorded by John.
>25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
>26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?

okay but why didn't he impregnate some old childless woman

because Mary was fit to be Theotokos and no one else.
beside being a called a virgin, what exactly tells you that she was pre-teen anyway? She is only ever called "woman" as an identifier in the Bible, so it's not like she's a guaranteed 14 years old.
>inb4 it was the custom at the time
ok? you can *infer* Mary was young, but you can't exactly prove it either. She could have had Jesus at 16. It's not particularly bad, especially for the times, considering most societies back then considered 15 adulthood.

It was done in a miraculous way that touches the heart of all men. God didn't create a world for your soulless idea of efficiency or productivity. He created a world for humanity.
