I will say what I think is true even though some might not like my line of argument.
There  are systematical codes and structure for all parts of the Torah that make it inconceivable that some ancient human author or authors made the Torah
see http://www.vilnagaon.org/book/largebo.htm
I am not talking about finding one isolated word but rather structures and patterns that repeat throughout the torah, that appear in no other readable book ancient or modern.

These type of investigations can be very impressive, even if not constituting "proof" per se (at least not in my mind).   There is an impressive sefer called "The Unity of the Torah" but I forgot who it's written by.   There is another sefer which my gemara rebbe had at the yeshiva and unfortunately I can't remember that title either, but he had a giant compendium of analyses and exposition on the first letters of verses  (rashei teyvot) and last letters of verses and how these quite often are found to hint at components of the Oral law and the discussions that ensue on the basis of these very verses in question.    He also uses a computer program to determine how many times certain combinations appear throughout the entire tanach, etc.   It was really impressive and we only looked at a few examples there.    The rabbi who authored this text lives in Har Nof (I think).
