While a Christian worldview may give us more confidence in some of our inductive reasoning, it does not cure the "
problem of induction". The fallacy of induction is still the fallacy of induction - the conclusion does not follow by logical necessity. 'All swans are white' and 'all crows are black' are still invalid conclusion because they are based on inductive reasoning...regardless of one's worldview.
