Is Joseph the daddy or not? I recommend the book Misquoting Jesus. He does a pretty decent job showing that the Bible editors tried to shift references to Joseph being the biological parents to being the stepfather. Which indicates strongly that the Q document didn't have that idea. It was an invention by the author of Matthew that the author of Luke and Acts liked.

Odd. Alright Luke 2:41-52. Watch how Mary talks about Joseph as his father.
As I said very likely Q had the story without the son of god being a literal son (Aramaic the same word for son is follower) and Roman legends of children of gods were pressed into place.
The Bible is a very very human book. It contradicts itself and earlier versions of itself because people argue.
