Why would you give more weight to one tradition (Jesus and James shared the same womb) over another (that James was Jospeh's son by previous marriage)?

merely because within the four canonized gospels James is at the crucifixion but is given several different names. This is a long and difficult discussion. I am getting sidetracked to easily here look at the other bible if you get a chance. I am glad to hear you took another step on thepath to truth.

I am curious as to how you use this as evidence that Jesus and James are bothers fathered by a Roman soldier.

like I said it is a long winding discussion Ehrman actually touches on it in another one of his books The new testament code"
