Whydo you thinkthereis no OPINIONin Part Three?

I think that there is no opinion since everything should be based on some sort of evidence or based on a higher authority.

50-50, evidence is important but the source of the evidenmnce is just as important Art is based on personal opinions therefore evidence is more important than authority There is no signle authority on morality since and therefore should be based on evidence Since there is no concrete evidence on religion\, we can only believe in those who know more. But it should not be blind belief
