Multiple Intelligence Test

Basically, my Interpersonal and Intrapersonal ranks among the first , 23 and 21 respectively. Next is Music with a score of 20 , Kinaesthetic and Linguistic with a score of 19 , Logic with a score of 17 , Spatial with a score of 16 and finally Nature with a score of 8.
Firstly , I shall need to clarify that this test was not very accurate. I delibrately changed some options after observing my 1st test results . I realised in my 1st test that I had a Kinaesthetic of 24. This I felt was a Utopian impossibility , thus I altered some of my options to fit that of my opinion of myself. However, this test does help certain people realise hidden talents or show particular weaknesses that are not easily exposed. This Multiple Intelligence Test also helps us in understanding why we do things in such a way and why do people react to us in a particular manner. However, why does one need such information of themselves? I feel that human beings are just human beings, each one equal yet unique in his or her own way. Multiple Intelligence Tests are conducted to find out how people are like , but does this information really help us? I have limited knowledge on the usage of Multiple Intelligence Tests and would gladly welcome my friends to post comments to clarify my doubts or challenge my view.
My view : I feel that all beings on this Earth , in the cosmos above , in the whole universe , are equal. They may be puny insects roaming endlessly in someone's garden or the denizens of the deep or the hidden possibility of extra-terrestrials in outer space. We are all the same. We are all one , all part of this universe, all coexisting in peace or war .This fact can never change and will never change as there is nothing outside the Universe. Now I am trying to believe that micro-organisms are equal to us , though it seems that they hardly have a life of their own. Linking back to the Multiple Intelligence Test , I feel that these tests create a sense of identity for ourselves. This is where we go wrong. If other organisms do not have an identity of their own, why should we? Are we the the dominating species in the entire universe? Why do we not treat other organisms with the same respect or same way a human treats another? For example, why do scientists conduct their tests on animals and cause suffering and death? They are just to help make the lives of human more comfortable at the expense of the lives of countless others. Does one not feel that the unnecessary slaughtering of other organisms a crime? I look forward to viewing the comments of your perceptions.

(I would just inform you that there would be another post , to be created tomorrow , exploring a book that talks about the existence of extra terrestrials . Hope you guys could comment XD)

Blasphemy - Science Vs Religion (Book by Douglas Preston)

In the everlasting conflict between science and religion , which will triumph? For lack of a better starting phrase , I have flaccidly anointed ((v) anoint (choose by or as if by divine intervention)) this statement which I feel is fundamentally incorrect. As I have said in my previous post , Science cannot exist without Religion and Religion without Science. Though they do not seem as opposites to each other , they are based on two very different concepts. Science is based on fact while Religion is based on Faith. Fact is the evidence that something is right while Faith is the belief that something is right with no actual evidence. This is why Science and Religion and opposites. However, in both concepts there are a significant number of "Question Marks" here and there , particularly significant in Science would be how to prove a theory is right and in Religion would be God. I am just presenting much background information on both concepts and both opposites before I delve into more detail on how Science vs Religion can be shown and is very significant in the book by Preston Douglas , Blasphemy.
First up on science! Firstly what is a theory?
