While the word "science" is an exception to the "I before E except after C" spelling rule (because of its particular Greek origin), the word "believe" follows this rule.
However, it has an "e" sound (silent I) like receive. Many words using the vowel pair "ie" (e.g. lie) have an "i" sound and the trailing E is silent.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the final e dropped from the base word believe to spell believable?

How do you correctly spell Recieve?
Just to add, FYI, the general rule for helping remember if a word should be spelled with "ie" or "ei" is: "I" before "E" except after "C". In other words, "receive" is spelled with a "c", so the "c" requires that you use the "ei" spelling after it. A word such as "believe" has an "l", not a "c", so it needs the "ie" spelling.
Does the word donkey have a silent e?
No, the 'e' sound in the word the is not silent. It is normally pronounced as the indeterminate vowel sound known as the schwa. When it occurs before a vowel sound it is pronounced with a long 'e'.A silent 'e' is not pronounced at all. For example, the 'e' at the end of the word blame is silent: the last phoneme in the word is the 'm'. The 'e' in the could never be silent, as it is the only vowel in the word.

What ever happened to you before e except after c?
I believe it should be 'i' before 'e'. You are presenting a distorted version of a spelling rule, i before e except after c; this applies to words such as receipt, believe, and so forth.
