How far are the two really apart? Believing is required for either to work.
According to Matthew 17:20, it's a matter of faith:
Quote:Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (NIV)
But, as I mentioned above, my concept of "faith" is more than a belief, it's a certain knowledge sight unseen.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
