God either divinely spoke to someone, as you claim, or he didn’t. If you have no way of showing that he did, then neither you nor anyone else has good reason to believe that he did. You don’t get to use the details (“content” if you will) of a claim about a divine experience to prove the cause of the experience was divine. That’s question-begging as far as I can tell.
Why is it circular? If these details contain material that is unlikely to be the product of the local environment, then these details couldn't have come from the local environment.
Can you give me an example?
