Yes, but not 'just agree with it' blindly.
I believe in scientific theories with the relevant confidence level and subject to the qualified assumptions, limitations and circumstances.
Why would a person believe in theories, which are themselves essentially just an assumption made about what could be the case?
This is VERY stupid in insist no person should believe in theories, i.e. justified theories as in Science, Mathematics, Geometry, etc.
Have you EVER seen ANY of my OPEN clarifying questions as being EXACT what they ARE, which is; just an OPEN clarifying question ONLY?
WHY do you continually read into and see things in my questions, which are NOT even there?
Also, WHY do you ESPECIALLY think I am "insisting" some thing, when I am OBVIOUSLY just asking a Truly OPEN clarifying question?
You come across as though you are paranoid or so insecure of yourself.

What about if it was not just a theory being made but through science is was proved that God exists, would you believe or accept that? Or, is that just out of the question?
If Science can justified God [as defined by theists] exist as real, then, I will accept that.
Provide that definition of 'God' [as defined by so called "theists"], then scientifically justifying 'that' 'God' could at least BEGIN.
So, we await for YOU to provide the definition of 'God' [as defined by so called "theists"].

Seriously, how many times do I have to tell you that I do NOT have a belief?
To state what you have just SHOWS absolute pure ignorance.
This is another stupid claim of yours.
This is another example of you see "others" less intelligent as you.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amNote what is "belief" in philosophy and you are reminded you are in a philosophy forum.
- Belief is the attitude that something is the case or true.[1]
I do NOT have the attitude that some thing is the case or true. Therefore, as I have been saying, I do NOT have a belief.
I do NOT because if I did, then I would not be OPEN.
Note how many times you have been informed of this. Note you appear to the readers each time you ignore this, and then write some thing as you have done here.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amIn epistemology, philosophers use the term "belief" to refer to personal attitudes associated with true or false ideas and concepts.
Note how you BELIEVE you KNOW ALL these things.
I will inform you AGAIN, you do NOT know what 'THEE' definition IS, nor do you know how ALL of certain labeled groups of human beings use or define things. You just ASSUME you KNOW this. AND, BELIEVE you KNOW this.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amHowever, "belief" does not require active introspection and circumspection. For example, few ponder whether the sun will rise, just assume it will.
Since
"belief" is an important aspect of mundane life, according to Eric Schwitzgebel in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, a related question asks: "how a physical organism can have beliefs?"[2]

Very easily.
The answer to this question is very simple to work out, that is; If you are Truly Honest and OPEN.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amDo you reject the above within the confine of philosophy.
Do you always have to ask leading and/or misleading questions?
What you have proposed above is not even in the 'confine of philosophy'.
What you have proposed above is not even agreed upon and accepted by ALL, therefore, it is your own ASSUMPTIONS and BELIEFS.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amTo reject the concept of belief is as if you are denying the concept of breathing.
Are you at all possible to explain HOW and/or WHY you ASSUMED some thing, BEFORE you even KNEW what the True and Real ANSWER IS, and then JUMP to some CONCLUSION, which is so OBVIOUSLY WRONG that this gets more and more laughable.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:47 amIn this case you are merely insisting you do not breathe, but perhaps claim it is only air going through your nose.
And you are so BLINDED that find this absolutely hilarious now. I LOVE watching you perform.
