In science, evidence is very important to prove whether something is true or not Evidence is more important than autority Opinion is more important Need an equal amount of evidence & authority. Evidence is more important than gure heads .

Whydo you thinkthereis no OPINIONin Part Three?

I think there isn't an opinion in part three because opinions would vary from person to person and not all of the opinions have a good basis to back it up.
