There is a fairly good sized body of historical scholarship related to this, concerning how the Scottish "common sense" tradition of thinking is closely intertwined with evangelical (and later, fundamentalist) ways of understanding both the book of nature and the book of scripture. Just to recommend one such source here: George M. Marsden, “Creation versus Evolution: No Middle Way.” Nature 305 (13 October 1983), 571-4.
