You don't verify Jesus as the Son of God. You do verify what is verifiable. At least in the case of the Bible, is it trustworthy where it touches events that can be independently verified. If you find that it is trustworthy where it can be verified, then you might be prepared to value what it says in areas that cannot be verified.
