- Knowledge requires empirical, first hand evidence.
- Belief is binary/digital. There is no such thing as "a little belief" no more than it is possible to be a little pregnant. Belief will follow the evidence -- as the evidence changes, belief will change. If the evidence is sufficient, one will believe -- if it is not, one won't -- and for that reason, one cannot choose what they believe.
- Faith is a choice to have hope in something based upon evidence that is insufficient for belief.
Lucky for us, what God requires from us is faith.
