Can you believe in the existence of something that you cannot see?

Answer 1

You may not have seen something but if evidences and proofs are there, you must believe it. e.g We have not seen the dinosaurs but evidences are there, so we believe their existence.

Answer 2

Yes, this is power of Belief.You initiate a thought about what you want to see, grow a deep strong Belief (thought over thought) and gradually over a period of time you will begin to notice that the places you move in, the things you do will all have some similarity to what you believe in. So therefore you are now believing in the existence of what you thought you cannot see, but at the same time you are seeing hints of it.

Answer 3

Sure, I can't see air, or atoms, or extra-solar planets - hell, I haven't even seen Neptune or Saturn before except maybe a blurred pic on TV.

If you mean can you believe in the existence of something that you cannot see, or detect in any possible way and by all logic shouldnt exist, then no, of course not.

If you do you might as well believe in all gods, spirits, werewolves, vampires, the abominable snowman, leprechauns and so on.

Answer 4

Belief is mental, psychological and spiritual. Looking through physical eyes and spiritual eyes are different. Blind people can not see with their physical eyes. Will they say that they wont believe.
None of us have seen Julius Ceaser or Cleopatra. Can we say that they were never existing? If you say, since we are able to see their portraits or dilapidated palaces where they supposed to have lived, the same theory has to be applied to the idols and temples we see but refuse to believe in the existence of God.
We are able to see only the Flowers not its fragrance. Similarly an apple but not its taste. When we can feel the fragrance and taste and still believe. why not in case of other issues and things.

Answer 5

We can't see magnetism or electricity or light waves or the air that we breathe, yet they are there. Although God cannot be seen does not mean He/She does not exist. God's presence is to be felt in the Soul. The Soul is the vessel of His/Her love. Every expression of love such as kindness, sympathy, helpfulness, forgiveness, and so forth come orginally from God.
He/She does not have the arms to quiet a terrified child, to comfort a grieving widow for instance, and He/She relays
His/Her love through us to take action on His/Her behalf. This is what I call "blessing others" and we all have this tremendous power but some ignore His/Her request. Even a smile, or a "Good morning" is blessing others in God's behalf

Answer 6

You can "believe" in anything you want.

Someone's beliefs are not neccesarily facts of life. It is simply what they think is real and correct.

You can't prove that China is there (for example), other people can tell you it is, they can show you pictures or describe it to you. But that isn't proof unless you believe them. Even then, it's only proof enough for you because you CHOOSE to believe them.

Reality is all relative. You believe what you want and let others do the same. If the religions are correct we'll all learn the truth when we die. Of course, that is far too late for it to matter.

Answer 7

There are many ways to believe in the existence of things. Seeing is one of them. Others are hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling through skin.

Answer 8

There are myriads of real things which cannot be seen, and there are lots of false visible things.
Being distinguished from all other creatures, man can accurately believe in the existence of visible and invisible realities by learning to use the combination of their sight, experience, experiment, reasoning, imagination, instinct, meditation and the teachings of the divine Educators.

Answer 9

Maybe, at your own risk. If it does not exist, than your belief was all wrong. It is better to see and believe, even though the bible and some other books say the opposite.

Answer 10

I believe that you can, although it does help to be able to see, and feel at the same time, I have seen and felt the powers of Magick, therefore I believe. People believe in other things too, and sometimes when they see other things they refuse to believe.

Answer 11

You cannot see the wind, electricity, magnetic power, but they all exist. How can something else be different? There are many things that exist that we cannot see.
