To whom? different evidence is required for a different target. I do not think there is an absolute proof for everything - hardly anything, actually. What I mean by that is there is no single proof that will work for everyone.

This can be proven by a three-step process:

1. 
   *]Establish that Jesus Christ is Lord
   *]Establish that Jesus established a visible and indestructible Church on earth which teaches in the name of the Holy Spirit and with the same authority.
   *]Establish this Church teaches that St. Paul is a prophet.
   
   There’s no scientific criteria for evaluating a prophet (nor the content of Scripture, etc). Ultimately it will always come back to the authority of the Church.
   
   What you are really asking is, “how do we know that the Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Jesus Christ?” Once you answer that question, you must automatically accept everything the Church teaches - to do otherwise would be to oppose God.
