Does Paschal's Triangle Prove Anything?

During my trip to New Orleans, I began talking to a philosophy major from MCLA about what we were have been recently talking about it class. I mentioned that we talked about Paschal's Triangle and he brought in an interesting viewpoint. He told me that Paschal's Triangle does not prove whether there is a God or not. I had not thought of it in this way before. When learning about it before, I have learned that it either makes people believe there is a God or there is not a God.

This lead to us talking about Atheism and Agnosticism. This person told me that he considers himself a Christian but does not practice like a typical Christian (i.e. going to Church). He also said that people such as Thomas Aquinas who people claim have the evidence to prove that God does not exist do not have sufficient evidence to prove it. He discussed with me that he thought that believing and knowing are the same thing. This made me wonder if knowing and believing are only the same thing for a religious context or if it means that knowing and believing are the same thing no matter what.

I agree with this person to an extent that knowing and believing is the same thing. I mean, I know that God exists because I believe it. If someone believes in something completely, it is the same thing as them knowing in my opinion. But is it the same for objects?
