The Mormons if I remember right claim that Joseph is the father of Christ by way of the flesh but God is father by way of the spirit. Why does both Matthew (1.1) and Luke (3.23) trace Christ genealogy through Joseph back to King David unless both assumed Joseph to be the father?

If I myself am not mistaken, I think Mormons believe that God physically impregnated Mary. I've asked Mormons before about this but have only gotten answers that were conflicting or vague.

David was the physical father of Jesus Christ. God took the seed from David when a virgin was called to warm him because of sickness. That seed was implanted in Mary. Jesus really was the son of David, imagine that?
