Well, let's go vice-versa on that. So you don't believe GOD can form itself into a man?
That is obviously the worst idea ever. That is how you get the emperor of Japan claiming that he is God on earth! It is necessary to smash that door firmly shut. You see, it is not possible to prove anything about physical reality. Why would we believe it when a man says that he is God? He cannot prove it!
Christ pretty much did. Performed countless miracles. Stated "to know GOD is through faith in me" - I know GOD rather too personally, I had faith since an epiphany as a child. I have witnessed countless "miracles" since 1997.

Not fully GOD itself -- but the prime human form of IT, if He was GOD fully, he'd be the universe.

Probably setting an example to those around him, that miracles can result through prayer. Remember, he was claiming to merely be the Son of GOD.
