I never said anything about being "comfortable" in belief, I said confidenence

I'm sorry. Please replace all instances where I said comfortable with confident. I really don't see how that chances what I said.

On the other hand, many people (me, for instance) have a deep, intuitive sense that what they have been told all their lives needs to be confirmed so that they are not just comfortable, but confident in what they believe

Usually when something is confirmed it is no longer just believed but known. I can say that I believe (statistically) that there is a very good chance the sun will come up tomorrow, but I don't know that for a fact. In short, I hope I am right, but I can't be one hundred percent confident. What is your percentage and how do you determine that? How much does one have to believe to walk on water?
