Mary would have had a lot of answering to do and Joseph wouldn't have to worry about those child support agency letters.

The Nephilim controversy would be moot.

We could learn the truth about Lot spawning two nations with his daughters. I suspect that it was just Israelite propaganda.

Methuselah would have been able to have calmed Lamech's fears about his wife fooling around. (cf. the story at the end of 1 Enoch)

Oh yeah, and they could have tested the water in the bath house to see if Jeremiah really had masturbated into it. (cf. the story of artificial insemination in The Alphabet of Ben Sira)

As you can see your honor:
... Adam took the fruit first and Eve was to blame.
... Cain didn't kill Abel, it was suicide.
... Angel Miskus is not the father of Gayus Nephilim.
... And Samson didn't inhale when visited the prostitute.
See your honor? Is all in this DNA test.

since Eve was allegedly taken from Adam by building on his rib - their DNA would have bee nperfectly identical - so that myth would have been killed instantly

That's where you get it wrong stillajwexelder. The DNA test will prove that Eve was created first. And the rib thing is just a myth. Who are you to talk against the science!?
Good catch sajwee.
