                            1. It ilustrate's with
                              1. Many scientists build more theories regarding the origin of mankind. As more knowledge is discovered towards this topic, more and more theories are built to explain the origins of life. Some of these theories explains that life came through the asteroids, or it just developed on its own.
                    2. To what extent does the quantity of 2 or more Ways or Areas of knowledge affect the way we see certain topics?
                      1. This question regards any Area of Knowledge, you just need to choose two or more. The point of the question is the amount of knowledge you have on a certain Area of Knowledge and how this affects the way you see different topics in life.

                                1. If the individual has certain knowledge of two areas of knowledge-such as the natural sciences and religious knowledge systems- then the individual can have certain perspectives towards a certain situation regarding the areas of knowledge studied.
                                  1. The individual does not need to know a whole lot regarding different areas of knowledge to successfully build doubts and counterarguments.
                                    1. Could be related to

                                            1. By having greater amounts of knowledge DOES build more perspectives and built doubts towards certain statements. It is a matter of to what extent does knowledge begins to build these counter arguments, regarding the different areas of knowledge and the amount of knowledge you know in your mind to be able to counter argue many statements.
                          2. I agree: with more knowledge, the positions you observe are wider and you get more perspectives towards something compared to just one.
