Whale’s Pelvis & AoK Religious Knowledge Systems

AoK Religious Knowledge Specialists.

That whales have vestigial pelvis bones presents those producing Religious Knowledge with specific problems.

Remember: AoK Religious Knowledge Systems “offer answers to fundamental questions about the meaning and purpose of human life” (ToK Study guide, 2014, pg 46).

Opening Questions for Mind Mapping:

  • Are the vestigial structures of Cetaceans a practicable and plausible object for explanation using a Religious Knowledge Framework ?
  • What are the potential knowledge problems which may arise if we were to apply Methodology of knowledge production of AoK Religious Knowledge Systems to Evolutionary Processes ? (for hints see the end of this article).
  • How could Religious Knowledge producers seek to overcome each of these Religious Knowledge problems arising from studying evolution ?
  • Is AoK Religious Knowledge Systems a ‘good’ AoK to use to investigate why Whales have Pelvis Bones ?

 

Hints for Religious Knowledge Methodological Problems (in no way inclusive nor exhaustive):

  1. Can we apply the use of Reason to authority based inherited knowledge ?
  2. What is the role of evidence when considering faith based knowledge ?
  3. What are the implications for RKS if we conclude that Cetaceans once had (or still have) parity, or even superiority, in relation humans ?
  4. Is it a problem if we accept that external reality may change whilst the internal reality of Faith based knowledge remains fixed and static ?
  5. Is there a danger of tautological interpretation of modern phenomena.
