Then there is no problem - repeat Gideon's experiment. Any
true results are reproducible. In addition, you would of course
have to rule out any factors other than divine intervention.

I see you have no idea of what science is. Writing something
down, saying it is the truth and pointing to the words as proof
that the words are true does not constitute evidence of anything, let
alone conclusive proof (which, as any scientist will tell you, doesn't
exist). Describing something that has already happened and
saying someone said it before the event happened doesn't
constitute precognition, either.
