Dear friend , just ponder over the words "Evidence" & "Devine inspiration" they dont belong to the same domain ... the devinely inspired do not care about the evidence ( but this does not negate the existance of proof ) .
I am a sikh by birth; but sikhism as its name states (decipleship & love of the one god almighty) does not fit into the "religion" paradigm.
Every person who follows a sikh way of life does so because he sees the love of god in all human beings and surrendering to the devine will tries to live a natural way of life filled with devotional love for the omnipresent lord . ( Phew! big sentence ! ).
There can be many examples to show divinity but i will just put some scientific examples here (more you can read in the doc. referenced) to reiterate the complete oneness of the Guru's words with unverse and it creator :
1 ) The Guru Granth Sahib, over 540 years ago stated that their were Countless Galaxies,with countless solar systems with countless suns and earths revolving around them ! Galileo was not born until 100 years later!
2)The Tenth Guru, Guru Govind Singh, when traveling by the woods, got of his horse upon the sight of a Tombacoo Plant (Tobacco Plant). He then drew his Kirpan (holy Sword) and chopped it up, then with his feet he smeared it into the ground. Onlookers belonging to many different religions, asked the Tenths Supreme Being, why have you destroyed that plant? The Tenth Supreme Being replied " Alcohol will destroy one Generation, But Tombacoo will destroy many generations.
As all know it was only about 4-5 years ago that Scientist
discovered that Second hand Tobacco Smoke damages, thus harming(damaging or killing) the fetus and destroying the lives of children & great Grand Children & friends. So because the 10th Supreme Being was in constant communications with the One True Supreme Being(Ik Onkar, Sat Nam) he had access to absolute Science.
moreover (icing on the cake) : Sikhism ( sikhi is the correct word) says you dont need to convert to some religon named sikhism to understand the love of god. >> one of the devine statements of the guru is : " do not call the Vedas & the semitic texts(bible/koran) as wrong ; But wrong and lie filled are those who have stoped pondering and understanding them ".
So there is no point in trying to prove a non-sikh about the devine inspiration. ( Because it will naturally come to those who have been intended by the devinity to be blessed by it ! ).

The "proof" lies in belief , you are if you believe , thats what I feel.
The Sikh religion was formed just 500 years ago and is one of the youngest religions of the world . Formed by the Gurus , Guru Nanak Devji being the first , the lives of the Gurus , their teachings inspired millions to follow the Sikh way of life . If one looks for concrete evidence or anything of such nature , basically his/her pursuit would not have any meaning .
Though there are instances that I could qoute from the Guruji's lives , the purpose shouldnt be to convince you or anyone . The answer lies in your own belief . If the teachings convince you about the same then it serves the purpose. Read a bit more about the religion and try and answer it yourself.

No, there is no proof for ANY religion that it is divinely inspired. It is a matter of faith. What you believe, not what you KNOW.

Well... you can try to convince me that it's divinely inspired, and if you do, then yes there is convincing proof. You're welcome to try if you feel like it...
