Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism

RE: Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism
(March 1, 2015 at 10:03 am)Dystopia Wrote: Rob explain something to me - How is believing something is true different from knowing? If I know something is true I also believe it is true. It is belief with knowledge. I know something happens and therefore I believe it is true. Aren't the two related? Maybe I'm getting too philosophical here. The way I see it, when you know something you also believe (with evidence) that it is true. For example, I know gravity is true because I've experienced it, and I also believe the law of gravity is true because there's no evidence that it's false

But believing something is true may be irrelevant to whether it is true or not.

Quote:The difference between knowledge and beliefs is as follows: A belief is an internal thought or memory which exists in one's mind. Most people accept that for a belief to be knowledge it must be, at least, true and justified.

True as in factual, demonstrable.
