What? Theology is not the same as creationism or having a religious approach. Theology would objectively study these passages and compare theories on whether they are including Mary, if there is a dispute over the lineage or if there was a translation error (and many other theories I imagine). It is a science, and is neutral in approach.

However you are denying and ignoring anything that would suggest the Bible is wrong. You said very early on in this thread how you believe the Bible does not contradict itself, which is something a theologian would not. They would acknowledge and study the reasons for the contradictions. You deny them.

Oh my god. I would never deny that there are things that appear as contradictory. But so far, in every case, I have found a sound explanation to them, making them no longer True contradictions.

@Theology. Then we agree, and your original post was just trolling.

My original post refers to the bold. While it is possible the only contradictions you have been exposed to have obvious rational explanations, I very much doubt it. The vast majority will be the subject of debate, and the fact you no longer consider them contradictions means you are essentially picking a side. Science however would at most determine one side to be more likely. That is the difference between theology and taking a religious approach.
