Re:<<Hm. Then would it not be fair to say that it is not "evidence" in the scientific meaning of the word, since such proof is inescapable, verifiable, and "translates" to everyone? >>

In matters of faith?

Let's review the definition of evidence:
Encarta:
ev·i·dence [ évvid’ns ]
noun

1. sign or proof: something that gives a sign or proof of the existence or truth of something, or that helps somebody to come to a particular conclusion There is no evidence that the disease is related to diet.


2. proof of guilt: the objects or information used to prove or suggest the guilt of somebody accused of a crime The police have no evidence.


3. statements of witnesses: the oral or written statements of witnesses and other people involved in a trial or official inquiry
**************************************

The problem relates to the acceptance of the evidence of witnesses by the "jury"...
