I have never understood what this has to do with reality.  We all make 
decisions based on the weight of evidence, on probability - in fact, on 
many things that don't involve the ability to observe.  Why should we 
restrict evidence for Hebrew at any stage to what can be observed?

When you consider that most of us here are believers of some sort, and 
that so much of religion is built on what cannot be observed, it just 
seem strange to keep coming back to this.
