There's no reason that the Holy Spirit wouldn't borrow DNA from a suitable male human. The "special" stuff is magical, spiritual or whatever you might call it, and that doesn't have to be in the genetic code.

So basically, there's a good chance that the test would come back as Joseph being the bio-dad, whether he laid with Mary or not.

    I’d say the odds would be that the father is not Joseph…

    As Christopher Hitchens once said: “Which is more likely — that the whole natural order is to be suspended, or that a jewish minx should tell a lie?"
