I know those things which can be experienced either directly (seeing, hearing, touching etc) or experienced indirectly thru instruments (infra-red light, xrays, radio waves, seismic waves, black holes, red shift of light from stars, bacteria & virus activity, DNA, molecular and atomic activity, the expansion of the universe etc).
Belief has to do with things which we have no way of verifying either directly or indirectly such as is there a god?, does the tooth fairy leave a dime under your pillow?, are there ghosts?, does the image of the virgin mary appear on the surfaces of walls intermittently?, can people levitate? and many other issues such as these. Topics like these are things you can either believe or not believe.
The problem with this is that people often confuse these two concepts and say they believe (or don't believe) in things which can be known for a fact, and conversely, know or don't know things which cannot be verified by observation and evidence.
It would be a good thing for humanity if people would learn the difference.

Black walnut ice cream is the favorite of everyone who wants it as their favorite. And God is simple to everyone who wants it to be simple.
This is why some people are able to believe in Him and some are not.

I believe there is a superior power (of which we shall never fully understand) who created mankind and our surroundings. I believe this was done out of LOVE and the need to create something beautiful. I believe one day our LORD will return and put the earth back to where it should be.
I believe this is only a test for humanity and a chance for mankind to realize that LOVE for one another is truly what is important. Not what we have, where we have been or who is in power, because at the end of time IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I believe there is a creative source outside the scope of time but this source has nothing to do with humanity's daily life here on earth. Humanity is responsible for their lives based upon each individual's decisions made. Cause and Effect.

I believe in God's Son Jesus Christ. I really do. Since I put my trust in Him he says that I am a citizen of a Heavenly kingdom. His kingdom. I believe that.
Actually, I make a really good Chai Tea Ice Cream. Also, Chocolate Malted chrunch is really good too.

God is light of compassionate love.
When it dawns it fills up each and every cell of the body with that love.
Body become a tool of god and love and compassion flows out for every being without caring for religion or creed.
Love and peace

God prepared this earth for His children to grow and develop and to more fully understand the principles of happiness. It's one thing to be told over and over what's wrong and what's right and it's quite another to experience what happens when people make good and bad choices.
