Is there solid justification for regarding knowledge in natural sciences…

- - - - Experience because scientists should observe the specific events and calculate the data to make a generalization process. Rational thought because in order to make conclusion, scientist would have his expected result before the observation so they can identify if something is wrong during the observation and experimentation
    - - Evidence because all the numerical data before making a general conclusion will be used as reason how they come up with the conclusion.
    - - The validation of the general conclusion made from inductive reasoning can be checked by using deductive reasoning
    - - Climate Change. Through inductive reasoning, scientists conclude that The climate is currently changing through natural processes. They test the validity and the truth of this conclusion using deductive reasoning by going for more specific events like climate change also can change due to burning of fossil fuels and open burning which make the climate change more rapidly. So, scientists conclude that the climate is currently changing at a more rapid rate than can be explained by natural processes and Human (non-natural) activity is necessary to explain current climate change.
  - - - Imagination. Historian use his imagination to evaluate the information they get whether it is logical or not. Perception. Historians sees and understand events differently depending on external factors like current circumstances and beliefs which can affect how they interpret the past.
    - - Interpretation. Historian use facts from many sources and interpret from what they understands. Evidence. The primary sources and secondary sources allow historian to have a insight of the past and propose theories.
    - - History of Malaysia: Different perspectives of historian in interpreting the sources which some of them say Malaysia is the one who defeated communist by capitulating the CPM (Communist Party of Malaya) and the others say communist and Malaysian government sign an agreement to end the war and give permission to communist to stay in Malaysia
    - - It can affect the acceptance of knowledge in history because it does not have a strong justification that people can see and evaluate themselves
