I would say knowledge means it is a 100% obvious/ proven fact. Like, I have knowledge that I am female. The grass is green. 2+2=4. Etc.

Belief is when it is not 100% proven fact. I believe my husband loves me, I believe God exists, I believe we evolved from apes, etc.

I would say that there's two kinds of knowledge: Relative and absolute.

If it's not 100% known then it's relative knowledge. If it is 100% known then it is absolute knowledge. (I've pondered all this before).

Does this make sense?
