Why are there two different versions of Jesus birth in the bible?

One theory is that the Matthew gospel was written "with an agenda" to make sure that Jesus's story fulfilled all the Old Testament predictions for the messiah. One example is arranging for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem because of the Roman census (there was a prediction that the messiah would be born in Bethlehem). There was a census around that time, but long after Herod had died (Herod died in 4BC, the census was, ISTR in 7AD). In any case, it's pretty unlikely that people would have to return to their ancestor's birthplace from 1000 years previously for a census; what would be the point?
