Explain This #1: Belief vs. Knowledge
#4
RE: Explain This #1: Belief vs. Knowledge
Belief is a faith based position which requires no evidence to justify it. A belief can actually be true though without any evidence for it it remains just a belief. Knowledge is a fact based position
Facts by definition are non falsifiable which makes the knowledge in question objectively true. Belief cannot be demonstrated. Knowledge can. That is the fundamental difference between them

Sometimes the word believe is used as a synonym for think so does not mean believe in the faith sense. That is the only context in which I use the word. For example : I  believe it will rain tomorrow
is exactly the same as saying : I think it will rain tomorrow. Unlike the faith based definition of belief however there will be a justifiable reason for saying this such as the weather forecast for example
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
