Even though there are four books which speaks of Jesus only Matt. & Luke gives some light as to how Jesus’ birth came about.
“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” Matt. 1:18-20
Bible says Joseph’s would be wife Mary was found pregnant through the Holy Spirit before marriage, but Joseph instead of calling off the marriage decided to marry her and then divorce her quietly because he didn’t want to expose her to public disgrace! Sounds like Joseph thought Mary’s belly wouldn’t have got bigger if he had married her and then divorced her!

Your reasoning is illogical

My friend it doesn't make much of a difference if there are only two witnesses, since that is all was needed at that time in history.
The thing is God is not a Magician nor a Voodoo Shaman, if somebody would put you in a trance, you would probably write everything they make you write. God has always allowed for human interaction, and the man has always allowed for evil or ignorance interaction.
It is denoted in the Scriptures. Whenever it is said somewhat:
"Here, take this little scroll and eat it, it will be sweet to your mouth, but then it will turn bitter in your stomack."
That denotes alteration of the scriptures and new clarifications are to come accordingly. Even the revelation of some old scriptures that were not even inspired by the living God also.
"Were two or more are together in my name, there I am too"
Does this say that ignorance, private reasoning, human secularism, traditions and even evil is not there? Because evil was also by Jesus meditations and was not done away with, because in the heavens are also rules to be followed. But Jesus did not allow for errors.
Perhaps everything would run super when we were just preprogrammed and predicted, but then we would be just robbots, ....wouldn't we.

Yup. Joseph was a good man. He didn't want any harm to come to Mary. If he married her then divorced her, everyone would assume that the baby was his.

Yes. Please read Holy Scriptures below and read all related Scriptures to get the whole truth.
Your reference to divorce are not accurate. Here are Scriptures from KJV uses Holy Ghost rather than Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:18-20 (King James Version)
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 1:34-39 (King James Version)
34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

According to Bile, God and Jehovah is Savior
Isaiah 43:11. I, even I, am Jehovah; and beside me there is no savior.
1 Timothy 2:3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Isaiah 43:3. For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Isaiah 45:15. Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
1 Timothy 4:10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.
Titus 1:3. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
O Bible Believers, why not you reveal your god that Jesus has paid the price of your crimes and sins?
Most of culprits, sinners, alcoholic, adulterous and transgressor Christians are being afflicted with painful torments like STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS, Hepatitis. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins, crimes and transgressions??? Or your sins, crimes and transgressions exceeded than price paid by Jesus?????

joseph thought that mary comitted adultery which could have gotten her stoned to death. thats what he was trying to protect her from. he wasnt trying to cover up the fact that she was pregnant.
