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.

This is a bullshit answer.

I don't believe in anything, just what I can see.

Therefore, if you can't see it, you don't believe it exists.
Now, I agree that what you believe has nothing to to with whether it exists or not.

We know gravity works, but we can't see it. We know all things are made of atoms and smaller particles, but without equipment, we can't see it. So even though we can't see it, we know they are there.

So I'll ask again. Do you believe in atoms? Gravity? microbes? You can't see them, therefore by your definition, you can't know they are there. Also, since you can't see it, you can't beleive it either.

So you don't know and you don't believe.
