I fail to see how anyone could establish genealogies by means of text. That doesn't cut it for us, today. You've already asked me to assume that their was even a "jesus" to bother with describing a genealogy for. But, in the context of some disagreement over genealogies (assuming that either one of them is accurate in the first place) I don't think that my objection would apply. As I said, one route of many. Of course, I'm not sure how you might go about "arguing for god" by means of "jesus" pro/sup-posed genealogy - as I'll remind you that it's human beings who have genealogies to begin with.
-All of that being said, I can't even call a pro/sup-posed discrepency in genealogies a contradiction that needs to be hammered out, personally. A difference that would make no difference, to me. I could probably drill you on it until it became an appeal to solipsism, but that would be me baiting you (and it would be hard baiting indeed) - and that's entirely unfair.
I can see someone defining "rationalism" that way, perhaps a bit mistakenly. Chances are whomever defined it that way had a hard time defeating the spectre of solipsism, and that's understandable.
