Knowledge goes beyond the regurgitation or memorization of facts, and knowledge claims can be justified by experience or simply understanding. Different areas of knowledge have different methods of constructing or falsifying knowledge, as the method of justification differs between these areas of knowledge. There are perspectives that support building facts around knowledge, while I disagree with abandoning facts that were previously considered knowledge. These perspectives collectively create opposition for the areas of knowledge, science, and history. Both science and history are subject to changes in knowledge as facts can sometimes be discarded, based on, or distorted to prove an opinion or theory. This does not necessarily mean that knowledge is always discarded and forgotten, but simply recognizes that these areas of knowledge continue to be based on previous facts or opinions. Since both fields approach knowledge through different perspectives, the question that emerges is to what extent society is justified in establishing or discarding what is defined as common knowledge. Starting from the natural sciences, knowledge is derived by objective means using the scientific method to investigate. on the world. The scientific method deals with experimentation and repetition of these experiments to ensure consistency before accumulating data. This data is then evaluated in order to create the basis for the facts that will be assimilated to generate scientific knowledge. This knowledge is always subject to criticism and in certain circumstances can be disproved with new theories. These new theories replace previously existing ones or coexist with old theories. In order for a scientific work... middle of the paper ......with the correct knowledge. Although religion and science have different approaches to answering the question of why, it is debatable whether one offers advantages over the other. The deciding factor whether religion or science is better depends entirely on the individual's perception. Overall, history and the natural sciences have contrasting methods of constructing or falsifying knowledge, due to their drastically different ways of knowing. However, both areas of knowledge develop previously considered knowledge, which can sometimes be discarded, developed or distorted to prove an opinion or theory. The acquisition of knowledge in different areas may differ, but all types of knowledge must be respected as they all have their own merits. Knowledge claims can be justified by experience or simply by understanding, but the best knowledge is the product of both.
