When a verse doesn't have any other interpretations except that Jesus is God, or that Christians are supposed to worship him.

Yes, they
could mean Jesus is God (Scripture-wise).

Even if there isn't a single smoking gun verse (I'm not conceding that - I'm waiting for your response to the first point before considering more passages), one can quite resonably consider the totality of the evidence in reaching a conclusion.
Even the totality of the evidence in reaching that conclusion - i.e. that Jesus is God, according to the Bible itself - is not demonstrable, in my opinion.
