The point of believing is not being convinced the creator exists.
Believing, if I may say what I think, is doing what the creator finds meaningful.
Believing is a verb, it's about what you do here, the good fruits
not an endless debate with trolls claiming the creator does not exist
and trying to convince them when they do not want any answers.
Perhaps that's what is written, don't throw your pearls before swine for they will trample them.
Believing Jesus rose from the dead is confessing Jesus is Lord
and doing the will of the creator.
1st believing is a noun (person place thing or IDEA)
here is the actual defination:
be·lief
/bəˈlēf/
noun
- 1.
an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.
"his belief in the value of hard work"
- 2.
trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.
"a belief in democratic politics"
Belief is a whole different thing while belief requires a measure of faith. Faith is not the only fuel that sustains belief. Evidence begets confidence, as with science the more evidence you have the strong your belief in it. Now if you wish to trade blind faith for evidence based belief, you simply must follow and look for God where He (not man, not religion) say to look! and you will literally find God right where He said he will be. Over time your interactions with God will grow and fortify your faith until it solidified into a foundationed belief. as strong if not stronger than anything 'science' can offer. if for no other reason than the fact you witnessed God yourself.
