I believe the sun will come up tomorrow. Can I prove it, no. Will that inability to prove it affect my actions, no. We use belief in this way, not to express absolute certainty.

@Cutiebeauty When you "engage in such discussions for fun and amusement", that sounds a lot like trolling. I'm not advocating 'grumpy', but I prefer straight-forward/direct/honest.

Manipulating words to manipulate people to get what you want ("fun and amusement") is not what I would call critical thinking (or honest).
