Kind of missing the point I made....
I have no doubt that there is gravity, I don't need to believe in it, I don't need to think it, I dont bees to imply any doubt at all in the simple fact that gravity is holding me down, that it is keeping the planets/ stars/ in orbits.
Gravity is keeping me on the ground. It does maintain orbits by producing a constant inwards acceleration. I don't believe these things to be correct, I know they are correct.
Belief implies doubt, I don't have doubts about what I know, I have things that can be explained, and verified. Truths of you will.
And things that may or may not be true, as they cannot ir have not been verified/proved... I don't believe in these things or not, I just don't know yet, so both the possibility of it being correct and incorrect exist..
