I think that you make a good case If Jesus is the Son of Man he would of course have human gens, yet, being also the Son of God ad God being a Spirit he would not have human genes so while we can certainly prove that Jesus was a man we will not be able to prove in a scientific manor tat Jesus is the Son of God, that is and can only be on fait that it is so.Christ’s y chromosome came from Mary’s DNA. Obviously, she didn’t have a y chromosome, but she did have enough genetic material to fashion a y chromosome from, since any woman has a lifetime supply of eggs. No genetic material was supplied from outside, but the entire genetic basis of Christ was refashioned by the Holy Spirit so that he duplicated in appearance his father, not Mary, his mother.
Brother Jay has a doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. Cardinal Ratzinger was one of his professors. His simple and sublime explanation is at forums.catholic-questions.org/showpost.php?p=11288833&postcount=13Does Jesus have a second strand of DNA? Yes. Is it paternal, No. Where did it come from? “Nothing is impossible for God”. We will find out how it works when we die.
That makes sense to me but weren’t there some posters in older threads about this subject who then argued that since Jesus is 100% human and 100% divine, that doesn’t work for some reason?This is extremely simple…
Everyone human has two strands of DNA. Jesus is fully human and so he has two strands of DNA. We have one maternal strand from our mother and one paternal strand from our father. Jesus got his maternal strand from Mary.

One DNA strand came from Mary and the other DNA strand came from God. That’s it. Please don’t guess or make things up. Listen to Dr. Br. Jay and don’t make it more complex than it has to be.

Brother Jay said that Jesus doesn’t have a paternal strand of DNA because He had no human father but that He does have a second strand of DNA, that “nothing is impossible for God.”This is extremely simple…

Why is this such a matter for conjecture?Brother Jay said that Jesus doesn’t have a paternal strand of DNA because He had no human father but that He does have a second strand of DNA, that “nothing is impossible for God.”
I must’ve misread his take on it at first because I thought he meant that since there was no paternal DNA, Jesus on my had the on strand, coming from His mother.
When he says “nothing is impossible for God” he means Jesus got this second strand of DNA from God, right?
IMO, Adam and Eve were just the first to be given souls.Why is this such a matter for conjecture?
Did not A&E each have full suites of human DNA (male/female) despite neither having human progenitors?
Certainly our LORD’s Y Chromosome would be less miraculous than all of their DNA?

If A&E’s progenitors did not have human souls, they were animals.IMO, Adam and Eve were just the first to be given souls.
I’m not here to argue, just here to learn. I subscribe to Ed Feser, and Dr. Kenneth Kemp’s take on Adam and Eve, and Brother Jay’s take on Jesus’ DNA.If A&E’s progenitors did not have human souls, they were animals.
If they had human DNA, they were human beings with human souls.
So whatever A&E’s parents were, A&E were first to have purely human DNA.

I don’t think so. That would have made Jesus a female near-clone of His mother, Mary.100% of Jesus’ DNA would have to be from Mary. Jesus is human through Mary, whereas God, the Father, has no DNA. Jesus’ divinity is immaterial.
