Where do you come up with this "believe in" shit? This isn't religion.
Going back a ways in this conversation, I described angels as being an artist's rendition of a flying being. They may have been depicted as they were because people tend to see the world through their own experience, so we get these people looking things with wings. There are other depictions of flying beings without the wings but seemingly attached to a flying machine. The evidence here is in the existence of such a thing. Why would someone chisel such a thing in stone?
Do I "believe in" the existence of these flying beings? I believe that they could have happened because of how often we see the same thing come up in different civilizations isolated from one another across large chunks of time.
It isn't necessary to to form a belief about something to admit that you just don't know. I don't know. You don't know either, and your thought process is flawed.
