You can’t believe that something doesn’t exist and at the same time believe that that same something does exist. There has to be an instant when the one state of mind changes to the other.
That's quite obviously wrong. Between not believing and believing there's a whole lotta "I don't know". On the vast majority of subjects, for the vast majority of our lives, we're in the "I don't know" area.
Do you believe men walked on the moon? Probably. Do you believe Hitler escaped in a U-boat to Argentina? Probably not, but you probably don't have enough information to form a clear belief.
Do you believe my grandfather was in the Red Army? You don't know.
