You know...I am keen to answer that question for you, but I am not quite sure if you want to hear it. because if this question is merely intended by you as a rhtoric, I may as well not waist my time...but since you seem a genuine and honest girl, let me try to explain to you what Christianity Clearly knows that Chist was the Son of God.
Let us start the journey from the very begining...
For starters, in the old testiment (which islam believes to be true torah) there are some interesting profecies that point towards God having a Son...My favourite is in Proverbs 30:4
"Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?"
So you see, from the begining of time, people knew that God has a Son.
Secondly, your narrow focused view of God having childeren only via sexual intercourse and inserting his sperm into a virgin...That is a mere indication that you cannot quite place God in His status, and that is that He is BEYOND any physical nature or condition that you imagine...God is Spirit, and if He has Son, then He would be a Spiritual Son that came from a Spiritual Birth. Before all ages, with no begining and no end...That is Jesus Christ. And he said it Himself, of Himself
1 John 5:10
He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
John 3:18
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:13
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven..
This is my favourite...because not only does he declare Himself equal to God, but also declares that He is on both the earth and in heaven at the same time...Only God can do that, and He is God because He is the Son God.
and many many many more verses that will not fit this forum.
You need to understand one thing...Trinity does not say three separate people, but three destict personas of the same God...just like fire has a flame, heat & light, but ONE fire...so to God is the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit...ONE GOD.
No matter what I say or anyone else says, you won't believe me because it seems that you have made up your mind...but if you are genuinely confused and need clarifications, do not ask me or anyone else...Ask God Himself to revele Himself to you...who knows, you might finally prove me wrong...but by the same token, you could just as likely be mistaken and discover something that you never expected.
God Bless you my friend and grant you all the answers you seek in your quest for the truth.

Woe, slow down. First of all, we believe Jesus is the Son of God because He said He was and because He has proved He is by the miracles He did when He came to earth, by His death on the cross, the fact that God raised Him to life and because when you walk with Him, He proves it to you in a personal way, too. Jesus is His Son over Adam or any prophet because Jesus helped MAKE the earth and everyone in it! He is Lord of all! And forget about God having sex. Your thoughts are limited to this physical world. God doesn't need to have sex to father a Son. Jesus says there is no sex in heaven.

You certainly follow a good train of thought! More precisely, I feel Man, humans have created gods in their own image. To explain the unexplainable. This has been built upon, it has created an industry of religions. God is not human, nor a being. No being could create the universe. Solar systems, galaxies, etc. But to answer the question, where did this all start, Man has created a god.

The DNA is a match. God's DNA was collected during Purim the year before Jesus was born, as part of a murder investigation at the Best Eastern Chariotel in Constantinople.

Well, first of all, God didn't choose Jesus to be His Son. Jesus has always been the eternal Son of God. Anyone can claim to be God, but What evidence is there to support their claim? The answer is clear: None. But Jesus Christ was different, and the reason is because He not only claimed to be God, but His whole life was a witness to its truth. Because of that, He alone could truthfully say, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).
What evidence is there for Jesus' divinity? The first is that of His sinless life—something only God could do. The Bible says Jesus was "tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Then there is the evidence of His miracles—miracles that demonstrated the power of God.
But the final proof of Jesus' divine nature was His resurrection from the dead. Anyone could claim to be the Son of God, but only Christ proved it by coming back from the grave—an event witnessed by hundreds. Who was Jesus Christ? He was God in human flesh—and He came into this world for one reason: to save us from our sins. Why not open your heart to Him today?

We Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, because in the presence of witnesses to the baptism of Jesus, God's voice from Heaven said so.
God said this (and many heard him, and it is recorded in one of Peter's letters as well as the gospels:)
"This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased."
God later spoke almost the same words from the Heavens again, at the transfiguration. He said:
"This is my Son, the beloved; listen to Him."
We Christians will not deny these statements of God, for who are we to contradict him? As you can see, we are commanded to listen to Him.
As to the silly idea that God has to resort to human sex to be a father to Jesus, that's just weird, and one of the strangest misrepresentations of Christianity I've ever heard.
The gospel (Injil) portrays the annunciation in a way very similar to the way the Quran does in the Sura Mary. That said, God's paternity of Jesus is an eternal one, not a 'sexual' one. Jesus is eternally begotten of the Father ("you are my Son, this day I have begotten thee" [Psalm 2:7-8])

Jesus (pbuh) is not the son of God, I am muslim and even reading the bible Jesus (pbuh) never claims divinity once. He refuses to even be called 'good'. Any time he says the son of God it is not meant to be taken litterally.
In Matt 5:9 it says the peacemakers are the sons of God. In hebrew this reference means the righteous servants of God, not the litteral sons of God.
