Domains Natural Science Item #s 1, 5, 14 YOUR Philo of K Rationalist Brief Reason + Remarks cause there are many ways to explain how or why a process happens ... we just accept one more than the other There is always two sides of the story and we cant disregard the other side just cause we feel like doing so Everyone have different views and each hold a correctness of their own, but it is hard to say if the interpretation even if seen through the artist is 100% correct There is always two sides of the story, but that doesnt mean that there will be enough proof that makes it right to go against Morality we all believe in the same god, the creator we just all call him in different names

Why do you think there is no OPINION in Part Three? - cause the opinion of the people is easily ruled out by the authority, and the authority would just simply post its own ideals instead Some other learnings, comments, connections... - that not all the things we thing are absolute are absolute, and not all the things we think are Relative are relative and not all the rationally correct, are correct at all
