1. Why is it said that "Seeing is believing" when actualy seeing is knowing? One can believe only if one has neither seen nor any proof. Once one sees or has a proof, then there is no room for believing but it is real fact/knowledge.

2. Why is a human heart related to love, hate and other feelings, when actually it is only a blood pump? Does guts' feeling, love, hate not dwell in ones mind, conscience and or soul? May be just because the blood keeps the heart warm. (We shake hands to exchange the warmth in our palms)
