What is Knowledge and what is not?

Knowledge is taking action based on facts. It is tangible for we can replicate experiments to decide beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true. Belief is a conviction that one has based on personal beliefs, culture, and ideology. One can believe in something while not having enough facts to support their beliefs, making it more intuitive. Opinions are formed by an individual’s judgment based on facts. Everyone has different opinions on the same issue since our judgments are usually based on our personal experience. Therefore, having the risk of taking facts and concluding your analysis based on personal biases.

“A series of evidence that can be constructed with certainty to form knowledge claims.” This means that we can replicate experiments, to know whether the evidence collected by the previous party is free from personal biases and prejudice. Thus, knowledge is a conclusion derived from the scientific method.

“Knowledge is a claim based upon evidence to explain a doubt and uncertainty someone may have.”

Since knowledge is something we can gain through the scientific method, it allows us to replicate experiments and create future studies to dispel doubts from the original research. This may mean creating a new experiment and testing the previous research’s conclusions to take account of all the possible flaws of logic from the previous study, and still arrive at the same results. Making the studies argument unbiased and a justified truth.
