Belief can only occur where acceptance is not compelled, for if acceptance is compelled, then belief is not required to accept that thing. Belief is thus the acceptance of some thing as being provisionally true where:

- contradictory evidence exists which throws doubt upon or compels the rejection of the thing being accepted as truth.
- insufficient evidence exists to compel or suggest acceptance of the thing as truth.
