As humanity progresses, it is inevitable that more and more knowledge comes to be accumulated. These knowledge get classified under different umbrella terms according to the elements of our world that they primarily deal with.

knowledge issue that arises from the natural sciences is: to what extent is knowledge from the natural sciences provisional? Merriam-Webster defines natural science as “a science that studies the physical and natural world or the events that happen in nature”.

To what extent should a knower group judge the value of knowledge gained by others? “Without application in the world, the value of knowledge is greatly diminished,” is a claim that one could use to answer that knowledge question.

The terms ‘conservation’ and ‘environmentalism’ often bear negative stigmas: images of activists chained to trees and of people engaging in physical conflicts over the practice of whale harvesting sometimes come to mind when we hear words associated with environmental protection. As Christians, we recognize that human life is far more important in the eyes of the Creator than is the life of any other creature, no matter how rare. Yet does this truth immediately release us from responsibility to…
