An exceedingly lame response. Why not make the effort to address the question instead of dismissing the OP? It seems that a lot of people on this forum are far more interested in receiving petty little "kudos" ratings rather than engaging in an intelligent discussion. Dawud, don't make yourself a target for ridicule because some of the members are ruthless.

Dawud, if you are genuinely interested in the abstract analysis of "knowledge", I recommend that you read about topics in the field of epistemology. Reading the opinions of famous epistemologists — Immanuel Kant, Plato, Socrates, Bertrand Russell, St. Thomas Aquinas, to name a few — would be a good starting point. Also, be original and have faith in your own conclusions.

The man believes it is his child, the woman knows. There is no sliding scale. They are two entirely different concepts. That is why they are different words.
