Obviously it would be pretty difficult to try to quantify a particular or certain amount of doubt---maybe the 'legal approach' could be a starting point. It is stated, "beyond reasonable doubt," not "beyond a shadow of a doubt" or "without any doubt." Or you could use the less strenuous burden of proof required in civil cases, which is a "preponderance of the credible evidence."

C.S. Lewis suggested that it would be simply stupid for a man to force himself to believe something if he thought the evidence was bad. But Lewis warned that even after someone becomes convinced through reason, that the evidence for the claims of Christianity are solid, they would soon be assailed by doubt---some doubts are normal.
