I guess you want some God's eye view doubleblind study, while I want to speak of what people were actually recorded doing. Until you can turn history into a science, you have defined away the possibility of ever being convinced of such a thing.

I guess what I'd like is for you to stop shotgunning me with sound bites and show me your "historical" evidence concerning the internal convictions of christian regarding Hume-ian doubt, which, I'll remind you, was the claim you made, in a fairly obnoxious manner.

I said that the doubt of viewing the physical sciences in their scope as less-than-the-story-of-everything, which you paraded to be a "Humean" show-stopper (you brought up the term, not I -- I tried to use it in the same sense you did), DIDN'T stop these Christian scientists. That is reflected by their achievements in the physical sciences. You need a better argument? I could say that wild zebras didn't stop them, and you'd require a treatise on wild zebras before coming to that conclusion. Silly!

When I said

the internal convictions of christian regarding

I meant to say "the internal convictions of christian SCIENTISTS regarding". Sorry.
