By the Holy Spirit. Read the book of Matthew in the Bible for the specifics.
Joseph Carpenter was Jesus' "step dad." Both he and Mary can trace their ancestry all the way back to king David, fulfilling the prophecy about the Messiah also being the "Son of David."

Well, Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus. Mary was a virgin. God is the true Father. Some good books to read: Luke and Matthew from the Bible and More than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell

Mary was moved upon by the Sprit of God who caused her to be pregnant with Jesus.... Joseph is the step father...who did not know or have sex with Mary until after Jesus was born. It was a creative miracle of God that cause the conception of Jesus Christ. God is His Father, because the sperm came creatively from God. The blood line is always checked by the Fathers blood, not the mothers. If they did a DNA of Joseph and Jesus, they would discover Joseph had nothing to do with it. He just provided a home and safety for Mary, when society would have stoned her for being pregnant out of wedlock.

Joseph contributed nothing to the formation of Jesus' body. He was the man who protected Mary (his wife) while she was pregnant, and raised Jesus as his own son.
Jesus is called the "Son of God" because Mary became pregnant by a special work of the Holy Spirit, while she was still a virgin.
Contrary to some people's beliefs, there was NO mistaking where babies came from in 4 BCE. EVERYBODY knew it took sex to make babies, even Bronze Age teenage girls. While many pagan religions believed that "the gods" occasionally got young girls pregnant, it was always a "god" in "human form" sleeping with the young girl--no virginity question there!

Well, Joseph isn't actually the father of Jesus, he nerver impregnanted Mary. God with his magical powers did. That is why she is called the virgin Mary.

Read Luke Chap 1
Actually this little kid comes home from Sunday School, and announces that he knows who Jesus' father was. His mother asked him him because she was impressed that he was pickinup. The Little guy proudly announces that his name was "Verge" When his mother asked where he got such a strange idea, he replied that the teacher told them "Jesus was the son of "Verge an Mary."
I believe he was a Roman solder

No, in the Noble Quran, when God says "Be" then it is. God is Great and All Knowing. When he said "Be" God turned Virgin Mary Pregnant with NO man touching her.

According to the Bible, Mary was not pregnant by Joseph.
But its really a spiritual thing, right?
