The Jedi DIDN'T want to train Anakin. Yoda, Mace and all those guys were against it, and then Obi-Wan said he would do it if they allowed him to or not because Qui-Gon Jinn told Obi-wan to.
So, if Palp REALLY wanted Anakin inside the council, he would of put him on Courasant. There's just no possible way he manipulated things enough to make it so that Qui-Gon would find him on Tatooine, then even though the Jedi council said not to, he would still be trained...
I mean, even if the Jedi found him, they still wouldn't of trained him, and Palp just got lucky that Qui-Gon was the one that found him... Any other Jedi, including Obi-Wan if it wasn't for Qui-Gon, would NOT of trained Anakin because of his age, and then he'd probably just be sent back to Tatooine to be with his mother.
I just don't understand how Palp could organize and manipulate something like that in that way. It just doesn't work...
Though, the "Christ-like birth" is an even worse idea, so maybe we should just go with this explanation.
My thoughts are that if Palps and his master were manipulating midichlorians, then it could be that during their experiments Anakin came about by (un)happy accident. No one would necessarily have to know of his existence at all. Another thought just popped into my mind... Perhaps Palpatine's master perfected the art of creating life from midichlorians and created Palpatine (after all, he is pure evil) and then once Palpatine became the master, he decided to try his hand at midichlorian experiments, didn't quite know what he was doing, and created something no one would have known about except for a twist of fate.
