You never explained your understanding of knowledge and belief and reasonable belief and how one obtains them?
knowledge - To me knowledge would include facts, skills, understanding...I also subscribe to Plato's definition of "justified true belief"
Belief - best definition - A belief is an internally accepted statement, the result of an observation or an inferential or deductive product combining
observed facts about the world with reasoning processes.
Reasonable belief - As above with reasonable evidence to support the conclusion
Beliefs are formed when information is gathered and rationalized with explanations
Reasonable beliefs are formed when information is gathered and rationalized with evidence
And for the hard one....
Knowledge is obtained in several different ways....Most commonly are perception, association, reasoning, communication and experience. I also believe
there is innate knowledge(see previous comments) and revelation(knowledge that we don't know how we obtained)
