REWe exist in a world governed by Science and Religion. Though both of these are already separated in modern society, we cannot deny the fact that they are still compared in terms of explaining the existence of things in this world. For us to be able to judge and identify things, it is needed for us to determine whether such data is a fact or opinion.
