Since "God" was going to go through all the trouble and come down to earth, why not really stand out? leave something for the next generations that proves that he is god?
You say that he was born without a father? Adam didn't have a father, he didn't even have a mother.
Jesus' miracles were not his own:
Joh 5:30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. (He is not omnipotent)
It is clear that Jesus and God are 2 different entities, however there are verses in the Bible which contradict this.

Jesus is the manifestation of God.

Jesus was God made flesh, as the book of John, chapter 1, clearly points out. Why didn't Jesus "stand out"? Because He did not consider equality with God something to be grasped....while He was on earth He humbled Himself, taking on the form of a servant, and was obedient to the Father in heaven, even to death on a cross.
You are right; when Jesus was on earth He emptied Himelf of all rights. However He was never not God. He merely did what He did by the power of His Father in heaven.

You don't know theology very well.. pointing out these things means nothing - they have their bases covered
I agree though... seems strange the most clever person to ever exist couldn't come up with a way so that we could know that Christianity was true... rather than leaving is hanging here, thousands of years later, wondering why people have faith in something that doesn't logically flow, or have anything valid to back it up...?

Doesn't matter what you say: HE is God. Do not read the Bible selectively! Read the entire Scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that Truth may dawn upon your eternal soul.

Jesus is God
Jesus is the Word. I will add His name in parenthesis next to the Word.
In the beginning was the Word(Jesus), and the Word(Jesus) was with God, and the Word(Jesus) was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh
And the Word(Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 1:6-18
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:56-58
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:15-20
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16

Jesus is an erroneous (false) name & God is a title, not a name.

Um...have you ever read the Bible? It talks about the exact thing you're asking about.

Don't try and reason with Christians, they are incapable of logical thinking.
