Feeling is almost like Knowing, in the Biblical sense…
“First Base”, in the sensual sense…
‘Feeling’ in the biblical sense got my face slapped….
‘Knowing’ in the biblical sense got me married.
I believe I know where I made my mistake.

Mark Twain
It’s kind’a difficult to believe something that you don’t know anything about. I say belief and knowledge seems to go hand in hand.
I couldn’t resist
Love the top comment. 
Building our own answer supported in facts approach us to the true.
The Conundrum
More than half the people who have ever been born are still alive today (A mathematical fact).
Therefore only half the people who have ever been born have died.
Upon this basis is to true to say that I believe I will one day die or that I know I will one day die.
Sometimes its difficult to differentiate between belief and knowledge.
Both are illusory.
M-kay…
Given that the definition of “illusory” is:
”
- based on illusion; not real.”
How, exactly, is Knowledge, that being
”
1.facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.”
or
” 2.awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.”
… “illusory”?
Believing is much better than Knowing. Knowledge is gained how? From learning? Learning comes from knowledge of others along with your own experiments or experiences? How many times throughout history have there been, when knowledge ended up being incorrect. Something "known to be true" ends up being wrong. It happens a lot..., like every day!
Believing takes no knowledge at all. It does not take reason or even the ability to think rationally. In fact beliefs work better if one is not rational at all, so believing is much easier to accept. One does not have to prove anything, one can simply believe.
Of course, I have no first hand knowledge of any of the statements above, nor do I believe in them...
I know in my heart which one is better.
Obviously I don’t believe in knowledge

Based on what evidence?
And, what do you mean by “people”? Homo Sapiens is but one specie of “people”, and the evidence is mounting that “we” have been here a lot longer than Judeo-Christian beliefs will tolerate.
As SWMBO has been preaching for decades, there is much more evidence that (e.g.) Neanderthal DNA was incorporated into Cro Magnon, et seq. than the popular Xenophobic “extirpation” fantasy. (Q “What happened to the Neanderthals?” A “We’re still here!” Q “What about the Cro-Magnons?” A “Us too!” “Friggin’ illiterate Cro-Magnons!”)
Sorry, but it is not difficult to discriminate. This is what it looks like to “examine your beliefs” and maintain a sense of humor. Trust me, it isn’t fun! It won’t win you any friends or influence many people (of any species)! But it’s like the old cliche, “Once you see it, you’ll never be able to ‘un-see’ it!”
(Hint: the same rocks were there, then…)
What difference does it make whether you die or not some day? What matters is what you do with THIS day. If I can prove that, is it still a belief?
Sometimes you gotta have faith!
“Beauty is its own Truth, defying Logic.”
That is fine.
But why?
I don’t like either option. What about the middle options, such as Bayesian probability?
I guess that’s probably closer to believing, since it’s basically an explicit way to not know something, and more specifically, have a reasonable estimate of just how much one doesn’t know it. But… OTOH, it could also be considered closer to knowing, since it allows one to be pretty darn sure of things when all the evidence points in the same direction, even if the conclusion is explicitly not proven to be absolutely true.
