Anyway, thanks everybody for your help.
Both you and sosia are right:

pensar - the act of thinking, a manual thought process (more shallow - this is what I happened to think)
creer - believing something, thinking something, more abstract (deeper - this is my belief structure)

Just my

I think, you should to know above the conjugations inside the same structure, if you can use the word Pensaba this word at Spanish is translated as I thought, other example I think in my girlfriend, then you can say, I think in my girlfriend ( Pienso en mi novia), I can give you other example above this use of the word Pensar, I thinking to buy a car new (Estoy pensando en comprar un carro nuevo). Then as you can watch the use of the verb (Think) is very easy his own uses, anyhow, you need improve more your learning at Spanish, you can find alots verbs and itself conjugations from internet, only you need surf inside of the internet.

Good luck.


Only I did my a few commentary above it.
