This is an extrascriptural explanation, and it strikes me as heretical. If there had been some man's DNA mixed in, then that would have given Jesus at least a virtual human father.
At any rate, I don't think Al is making a biogenetical point here, but rather that it pleased God to have a human mother, when He could have incarnated in some way that would avoid a human mother just like He was born without a human father.
I do not believe it is any more extrascriptural than saying the flesh of Jesus was all hers.

Yes, God could have done that if He chose to do so. But instead, He chooses to work through the human beings, usually the ones thought by the world to be least likely to draw God's attention.
I believe that Mary deserves great honor, just as I honor all the great servants of God. We just need to be careful not to elevate her above the level of human being.
