The genealogies are a hoot even if true, used to verify the claim that jesus was descended from David (or was it Abraham?) via Joseph, who wasn't his father anyway if you believe the new testament story that the ghost did it.
What's more, as I recall it, it's all about MALE genealogies, which is ridiculous considering jewishness is traced via the mother and that apparently in those days all that begatting happened with no female involvement.
As for your last statement, I don't have enough years left to waste time & energy on difficult to understand stuff which has no relevance for me anyway.
How often do you read your holy book
