We can believe in all sorts of things but how can we be sure something we believe is real?

This is actually a very complicated question if you actually feel like getting into the philosophy of it--I took an entire course on "reality" at college.

In the everyday world, though, the answer is pretty much no. Believing in something doesn't make it objectively real; that is, believing that there is a tree in your front yard does not put one there. The way to be sure if something is real is to test it, to find out if its presence is verifiable. This of course gets trickier in less concrete areas (such as "what is evil?") but I think the same rules apply.

God created signifies that God individuated factors of the knowledge that it really is into observational contraptions that we anticipate of of as human beings. they don't seem to be quite cut loose God yet they seem separate for the objective of interaction, communique and the exploration of opportunities. It change into significant that those subdivisions of all it really is ignore or no longer be attentive to what they quite are. This forgetting makes the fabric dream that God is having seem more beneficial authentic. The mechanisms that make the fabric dream appear as if reality are wise and confusing to prepare such an excellent number of include blissfully ignorant of what's happening. The trick the following is , it doesn't remember even if it really is authentic or no longer if we surely journey it as a unbroken cloth reality, because we nonetheless journey the end results of it as even though it were surely authentic. In effect it really is authentic to us so it doesn't remember.

No, believing in something does not make it real. There is a possibility of making something you believe in.

IE: If I were to believe in pocket dimensions I could build a Virtual Reality that immerses all of our senses. Therefore, such a dimension would exist.

Perhaps one day in the far future Christians will build a God, a heaven and a hell. I really hope not, but it could be a possibility. What is science fiction today could be reality in the far future.

In the Matrix, Morpheus asked Neo, "How do you define real?", then added something like, if something that is real is something that you can feel, see or hear, the they are just electrical signals in your brain. We can never tell what is real from not. It mostly depends on your faith that something is real when you believe in it. You just have to believe.

No, but believing in someone or something does if the evidence or proof is there not only to them but with others who agree and back up that evidence.

The belief in something makes it real to the person that believes it.

Whatever you believe is your reality. That means if you don't believe it, to you it is not so.

The top answer says the word of god, the bible. Whoever you are, if you read the bible, you would know that it says the word of god is Jesus. The word of god is not actual words, but actions.

Bible thumpers are so stupid.

in a way, it does. it doesn't make the thing a physical reality, but it makes the thing a reality in the sense of it exists somewhere in somebody's mind.

a unicorn may not exist in physical reality, but the idea of unicorns exists.
