Then how do you account for the fact that in Matt there are 26 generations
between David and Joseph and that in Luke there are 41?  Each with a "begat"
or "son of" between?  That can't be accounted for by name changes.

Matt: Joseph, (9 ommitted), Zerub'babel, Sheal'tiel, (14 ommitted), David.
Luke: Joseph, (18 ommitted), Zerub'babel, Sheal'tiel, (20 ommitted), David.

I guess fundamentalists have to reject counting as well as evolution, since
it contradicts with their biblical interpretation.  :-)
