I was reading a blog which discussed the topic of innate knowledge. According to the blog, there are innate beliefs but no innate knowledge. The objection was that I know my beliefs was raised but the author did not discuss the issue satisfactorily. I believe in X if I am aware that not-X may be true and yet I believe that X and non not-X is correct. Belief implies knowledge of the belief.
It can be argued that I may have beliefs without my knowing so. Hence, I would not accept those beliefs as belief, I would accept them as knowledge. I may change my opinion on those pieces of knowledge on further inquiry but the same is possible for all scientific knowledge, individually as well as collectively.
