Keep in mind, the Bible is not a biology text, it's a highly selective collection of writings about a guy named Jesus and a bunch of left over stuff from his religious predecessors.
According to +JMJ+ “The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God.” However, it's not so clear. If Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God then we can refer to the triple god a God. This God like many other gods came and had sex with a human. This one, on the other hand, cloned himself and used the human as an incubator because we do not refer to Jesus as half man and half God. Thus, Mary contributed no DNA to the incarnation of God we call Jesus. That being so, God did not commit incest by having sex with Jesus' mother which might have also been God's mother. She wasn't really a biological mother, only an incubator, foster mother.
All this supernatural nit picking about God's DNA and age of earth, creation, gay marriage, ad nausea is calculated to distract from Jesus' message of loving one another and treating others well.
The bigger the nit-picker the less like Jesus.

Let's see:
Mat 3:17 and a voice from heaven said, "This is My Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with Him."
Mat 17:5 While He was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them; and a voice from the cloud said, "This is My Son, whom I love, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!"
Mar 9:7 Then a cloud enveloped them; and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!"
Luk 9:35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!"
Joh 6:40 Yes, this is the will of My Father: that all who see the Son and trust in Him should have eternal life, and that I should raise them up on the Last Day."
2Pe 1:17 For we were there when He received honor and glory from God the Father; and the voice came to Him from the grandeur of the Sh'khinah, saying, "This is My Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with Him!"
Not only did Jesus the Son say it but, God the Father also said it DIRECTLY.

This was actually debated in the early church, and some now defunct Christian sects, such as the Ebionites, viewed Jesus as an ordinary man who found God's favor, similar to Moses.
Quoting the Bible to answer a question like this is silly, since the Bible is merely the collection os texts that the Catholic church chose, and of course those texts are going to support the idea of Jesus' divinity.

Get a Bible sometime and read the statements that Jesus made about himself. He claimed BOTH the title of "son of God", and "God himself". In fact, it was for claiming to be God that Jewish leaders placed him on trial. They offered him a change to deny that he was claiming to be God. When he refused to deny it, they had him crucified.
Realize that in Jewish culture at that time, to claim to be "the son of" someone had little to do with their having "sired" you. It was a reference to having the rights, powers and authority of that person. That is one of the reasons who Jesus said not to call any man "father", it would place you under the authority of that person. When Jesus said he was "the son of God", it was not intended to convey that God had "sired" him, but rather that he was in a place of shared authority with God.
Plus, last time I read Genesis, God CREATED Adam from the elements of the earth. He did not "sire" him as he did Jesus. So even if "son of God" refers to being "sired", Adam does not qualify.

Well to understand it you have to go all the way back to the Garden of Eden where man first fell. Even though God never intended for us to fall He gave the promise of a Savior when we did. The first time this promise was spoken of is in Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." All throughout the Old Testament there are hundreds of prophesies that predict Jesus’ coming. Here’s just a few of them:
THE SAVIOR WOULD BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM Micah 5:2
HE WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN Isaiah 7:14
THE SAVIOR WOULD BE GOD HIMSELF Isaiah 9:6
HE WOULD BE A SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS Isaiah 53:4 & Isaiah 53:10-12
THE SAVIOR WOULD BE RESURRECTED Psalm 16:10
HIS SACRIFICE WOULD BRING US PEACE WITH GOD Isaiah 53:5
Then in the New Testament Christ fulfills every single one of these prophesies that were recorded hundreds of years before He was even born. As for Jesus not claiming to be the Son of God check this verse out. “Then they all said, ‘Are You then the Son of God?’ So He said to them, ‘You rightly say that I am’” (Luke 22:70).

Jesus is not Adam ... just because Islam claims he is ..does not make it true. Oh..and God made Adam and Adam was a man .. so yes, Adam was a son of God ..and so are all the people on the planet. Just because Islam claims God has no children does not make Islam correct.
And because Islam claims ( remember islam came along more than 1400 years AFTER Jesus walked the earth wearing flesh ) that Jesus did not say He is God does not make Islam correct. It only means Islam has NOT bothered to read scriptures which were written THOUSANDS of years before Muhammed was born. and scriptures which were written approximately 1400 years after Jesus wore flesh. Just because Islam wants to claim everything is a lie does not make it so.
Jesus allowed people to put him on the cross... his flesh died.. but then he raised himself out of the grave. Jesus raised many many many dead people from the grave. healed many blind people. Healed many deaf people. Healed many dumb people . Healed many bleeders etc etc etc etc. Threw demons out of people. Muhammed never did anything good for people like that because Muhammed is not God.
Jesus did say He is God , not one time but many. Just because Islam says that He did not say it ..only means Islam does not want to believe in Jesus .
I find it incredible that Islam is willing to believe Jesus spoke while a newborn baby ... had many kings find him and bring him gifts while he was still a newborn... and yet claim to love him and yet refuse to follow him. Amazing. But hey..thats Islam.

Both. Jesus is God, but also the Son part of the Trinity.

Adam is the son of God. I am the daughter of God. Jesus said I am God. If ye have seen me then ye have seen the Father. I and the Father are one.

Yes he did say it:
Matthew 26:62-64 (New International Version)
62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 63But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ,[a] the Son of God."
64"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."

God tells angels to worship Jesus:
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him." (Hebrews 1 & Psalm 45)
God calls Jesus God:
8 But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy."
(Hebrews 1 & Psalm 45)
Jesus says that God is Spirit:
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4)
Jesus calls God the Father:
John 20:17
Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
Jesus says that the Father and him are one:
30 "I and the Father are one."
Jesus calls himself 'from everlasting to everlasting ':
58"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" (John 8)
Jesus is in Daniel 7 as the Most High, having a separate set of independent actions from the Ancient of Days:
13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
