Jesus' Credentials: Eye Witness Accounts

Upon what basis are we to believe this man and what the Bible claims of him? It's reasonable to ask for proof. Why should we believe the Bible over other religions like Islam? After all in the Bible Jesus claims to be the Son of God while the Koran explicitly states that Jesus is not the Son of God. But while the Koran and other such religions make unqualified propositions, the Bible backs up its claims with the evidence of public miracles as testified to by eyewitnesses. For example the four gospels are largely an affidavit of eyewitnesses to Jesus' ministry, teachings, miracles, death and resurrection from the dead. Consider the beginning of the gospel of Luke which is a letter written to a man called Theophilus,

"Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." Lk 1:1-4
