What is wrong with relying on the eyewitness testimonies that are in the Bible? What evidence is there that what they said is a lie or incorrect? What did they have to gain by lying? In reality, all but one apostle was put to death for their belief and preaching of the mircles of Jesus Christ. Did they not really believe what they saw or did they die for what they thought could have been a lie? I doubt it!

I can't remember any of the miracles, if there were any. The witnesses were the first people he taught(similar to the apostles).
If you can rely on the eyewitnesses of the Bible, then you can rely on the eyewitnesses of every religion with them. This creates a contradiction since Christianity says other religions are false, so you would have to deny other eyewitnesses while selecting ones that are favorable to your argument.
I don't think that they would die for something they
knew was a lie. Jesus could have really thought he was the son of god and might not have been. Maybe he thought he was something he wasn't, and others believed him. Son of god or not though, his message was good.
