There's no need for anyone to claim to be certain about anything. Reasonable doubt is sufficient to withhold belief. And withholding belief is not the same as announcing the claim to be absolutely false, either.
I don't understand why a resurrection would even be considered impressive. If you're already assuming God created the universe, along with the laws of the universe, and has unlimited power, this is rather a feeble display of it.
If you're not assuming such things, this puts God at the level of some sort of D&D necromancer or something, (or even just an illusionist) perhaps with some telekinesis to make it look like the body ascends into heaven. It doesn't take much to "wow" some people into belief, especially incredibly superstitious ignorant humans around at that time.
And what's this "only son" crap? That's simply by his own choosing, isn't it? He could make billions of sons and flood the world with them, couldn't he?
