What is the difference between believing and knowing? Anonymous 2017-07-01 03:37:23 Post No. 19227457 [Report]

I see the word believe used a lot on /x/ as opposed to know. Is knowledge just a sufficiently strong belief, or is it a belief that does not require faith?

For example, I know the capital cities of the US, but someone believes in God. I would ask if the difference is proof, but that isn't always true in conversation. For example, people say the know what the ultimate fate of the universe is cosmologically or they know what happens to consciousness when you die, but neither argument has particularly sufficient proof as it stands.

Knowing is when you have factual infallible information that you've gained from firsthand experience.

Believing is when you're inclined to take information as fact enough to act upon it as if it were fact due to bias, faith, reliability of the source of the information, and/or because you desire it to be true enough to override logic.

Knowledge is a sufficiently strong belief because it requires faith in the facts that are provided. Then again, I suppose the answer depends on who you ask.

Knowledge is just belief that's too ignorant to understand it's belief -- What is "Science" but an organized system of ignorance?

Knowing is a feeling; believing is a desire of a feeling. You know ice is cold, you don't need to believe it.
