Criteria for actual foreknowledge

In order for a statement to be {{{2}}} scientific foreknowledge, it must fit five criteria:

1. It must be correct. A statement cannot be scientific foreknowledge if it is incorrect, because the scientific method necessarily eschews incorrect data.
2. It must be in the {{{1}}}. A statement cannot be {{{2}}} scientific foreknowledge if it isn't in the {{{1}}}, because the only possible source of {{{2}}} scientific foreknowledge is the {{{1}}}.
3. It must be unambiguous. A statement cannot be scientific foreknowledge if it is ambiguous, both because science is necessarily precise and because ambiguity allows modern science to be shoehorned into ancient religion when none is present.
4. It must have been outside of contemporary knowledge. A statement cannot be scientific foreknowledge if it was already known, because this makes the "foreknowledge" into merely "knowledge" and makes divine intervention unnecessary.
5. It must have been outside of contemporary technology. A statement cannot be considered scientific foreknowledge if it was knowable with the technology of the time, because this makes divine intervention unnecessary.
