Due to the laws of physics and the understanding of the current motions of the earth, we can say for sure, barring some highly unlikely event, the sun will rise tomorrow. Can we be 100% sure? No, because as I said, some highly unlikely event might come along, but we can be 99.999% sure that the sun will rise on the Earth's horizons tomorrow. No belief needed.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
