I wonder, is there out someone disbelieving quantum mechanics but accepting the concepts and statements of Newtonian mechanics? I would like to hear such standpoints.
What about "Do you accept the axioms of...?", or perhapsLocrian said:The word believe does not effectively describe my attitude towards any scientific hypothesis or theory, period.
Physics and science in general is based on observation and theories developed from these observations. Unlike religion, belief has nothing to do with it.

Hmm, nobody has a vocabulary coinciding 100%, in all the semantic flavourings, with other person. But does that imply that vocabulary, that each word, is a belief?Entropy said:Everyone has beliefs be they about science or anything else because no one knows anything with 100% certainty.
Classical mechanics is a scientific theory that describes the motion of objects under the influence of forces. It was first developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century and is based on three laws of motion.
Classical mechanics differs from other theories, such as quantum mechanics, in that it is based on the assumption that objects move in a predictable and deterministic way. This means that given the initial conditions of a system, the future behavior of the system can be accurately predicted.
Despite being developed centuries ago, classical mechanics is still an important and widely used theory in modern science. It forms the basis of many engineering and technological applications, and is also used in fields such as astrophysics and biomechanics.
Classical mechanics can be seen in many everyday activities, such as driving a car, throwing a ball, or even walking. It helps to explain the motion of objects and how forces affect their movement.
While classical mechanics is a highly accurate and useful theory, it does have its limitations. It does not account for the behavior of very small particles or objects moving at very high speeds, and it also does not incorporate the effects of gravity on a quantum level.
