Belief is not knowledge nor can it be substantiated. What you or I believe is irrelevent. It's what there is that matters. And while I may not be able to see it, it exists beyond my own limited conception.

Hence 'all I know is what I see'. I can only know what I see. If you 'believe' in something, you can't see it.

There are lines of thought related to quantum physics that disagree with these statements. The fact that we exist and are able to sense anything at all could influence what there is to perceive.

I think it would be kind of cool if belief in deity (or gravity, or atoms) actually did bring deity into existence...
