    We use the way of knowing (WOK’s) to explain why things are the way they are and how we make sense of everything in the world around us. The Wikipedia article about Scopes, Inherit the Wind and personal experiences can help explain how we see the ways of knowing being used in actuality. Through one of the ways of knowing, physiology, we can prove out existence on earth. We are living humans and we do need certain things to survive.
