I think, if one is referring to divine revelation, a minimum of evidence that it is in fact divine is demonstration that the insight couldn't have been produced in the absence of divine influence, that the person couldn't have arrived at the insight by normal means. It's possible that a divinity inspires revelations that the person "could have arrived at naturally," but there's no way to separate those insights from ones which did occur naturally. In the bible, prophecies about the future, if genuine, fall into this category. In the personal revelation department, demonstration of knowledge that one had no way of knowing is another possible demonstration (though such demonstrations have their own problems, as does prophecy).
Drich, do you have any insights that you verifiably could not have had without divine intervention?
My Thread on Messenger/message would be an example of 'Divine intervention.' The revelations I was given at that time are still unfolding.
