the answer is --when you answer the question Why do you believe.Maybe a simpler question will get a start --what, when, where ,who , how.Bet You got answers for those questions but nobody knows why.I'll give you a hint-It has nothing to do with any of these things.It also has nothing to do with being right or wrong.

Think of Zen and the art of introspection. The point is, there is no point. You can't be told this, you have to experience it. Of course every once in a while someone thinks they've figured out a way to tell you this.

Photons strike the faceplate of the camara, changing the electric conductivity of the composite metals of the faceplate, this voltage varience is scanned in a raster fashion by an electron beam generated at a cathode at the opposite end of the vacuum tube. The electrom beam is manipulated by the magnets in the yoke that surrrounds the vacuum tube, which is how the electron beam performs the raster scan.

The signal is analogue.

Inside my eye there are cells the have rhodopsin.

Is the signal analogue?

That is why.

Can the whole question be avoided by saying, "I don't"?

hello future transient.If you are not on the road to nowhere now you will be tomorrow.Perhaps before you get too lost we should agree on this point.Why not is not an answer but a rhetorical.It is no different than saying because.There is an answer but you haven't earned your right to the reply. Being a seeker doesn't mean shit if you've got no point.Mind game for you.Cross your fingers,get a pen/cil,put pen between cross so it rests between,close eyes,rub pen back and forth---How many pen/cils do you feel.

what it is you believe

Concerning what?

I believe because there are endless sources of tangible evidence that humans are the most wonderful and horrible animals on this planet. With this comes that fact that no god or gods are necessary. (This is my answer if we are talking about religion.)

Because I said so. (That covers everything else pretty much).
