so just so I am sure I understand it, those saying Mary was a hermaphrodite, are they suggesting she somehow nauzubillah impregnated herself? i dont understand..

secondly, afaik, ahmedis do say that Quran is unchangeable and is the word of Allah, how does a scientific explanation explain this:

and this:

“Verily, the likeness of ‘Eesa (Jesus) before Allaah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: ‘Be!’ — and he was”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:59]

The first verse explicitly talks about the creation of Isa though a word of Allah, and not through any act of Maryam, the second gives an analogy of Isa’s creation through hazrat Adam’s.

How do you explain these verses?

To clarify these verses:

Adam primarily stands for man, i.e., the sons of Adam generally. Jesus is thus declared to be like other mortals who have all been creeated from dust (40:68), and so there can be no Divinity about him. If however, the word “Adam” be taken to refer to the progenitor of the human race, then the verse would be taken to point to the resemblance between Jesus and Adam in being born without the agency of a male parent. In this case, the fact that Jesus had a mother would not affect the likeness which, as stated above, need not be complete in all respects.
