Just for an example, I would quite happily say that there is a chair in front of me.
I would also say that I believe there is a chair in front of me.
I might even be so bold as to say that I am certain that there is a chair in front of me.
Intelectual courage, or just plain recklessness? — Banno
That some beliefs may occur in science, does not suddenly remove the reality that belief mostly permits ignorance of evidence.
Non-beliefism underlines, that "one may rank his/her presentations as incomplete expressions (susceptible to future analysis/correction), where one shall aim to hold those expressions to be likely true, especially given evidence, rather than believe, i.e. typically accept them as merely true especially absent evidence". — ProgrammingGodJordan

The OP has a false definition of belief, because he refuses to accept that the words evidence and proof are not interchangeable. Instead, all while questioning the relevance of absolutely anything and flooding the forums with dictionaries, they constantly deny the dictionary definition of the word synonym, leading to an unrelevat discussion of its meaning. — BlueBanana
I have only just been prompted to this thread and as I attempted to read it in order to ascertain what the concern may be, unfortunately I stumbled upon this and I am afraid that this is complete nonsense. Is that link to a page you have created?
There is an opportunity to correctly discuss fallibilism or even when beliefs can qualify as knowledge, but you need to exhibit a degree of coherency in your position. Plato famously remarked "justified true belief" so perhaps you can focal an argument toward the Gettier problem. Otherwise, the last several pages of nonsense only qualifies the thread' closure. — TimeLine
The very same dictionary definitions you've posted contradict the ones you're using. — BlueBanana
