It would be scientific evidence that supported the hypothesis that the subject ate lunch. "

You can prove food was in the stomach and how long it had been there, but you can't prove, scientificly, that I ate it.

Ah, but that would be the hypothesis with the most supporting evidence; rather than presupposing that GOD put it there, the most parsimonious explanation would be that YOU chewed it up (gee is that your saliva on it, yes it is) and swallowed it.

You really don't understand the utility of the Scientific method do you? No, you'd much rather scream and fuss and say "Proves nothing!"
