or religion but it questions the religious authority, or are those who are skeptical of a specific religious event/practices. 
Counter argument: Historical or scientific evidence are more trusted and emphasized. It is a process of discovering the truth instead of the “general non – acceptance”

The discovery that concerns the degree to which sources or evidence show that Jesus existed as a historical figure.

Can this idea also leads to a problem of ethics?
take an example of a writer that wants to write a children's novel. most writers believe that in order to earn great profits and great attention from its potential customers, they need to write fictional stories that seems magical or extraordinary (also knowing that their target market is children). would this be ethical? children might view the story as an example to be demonstrated in real - life. How would writers be responsible of this?

This might be a possible counterclaim perhaps
RLS: my mom's miracle
an accident that she went through before she had children. an accident that resulted her having a busted mouth and injured nose. right after the accident, a lot of people surrounded her car, moving it from side to side which made her feel panic and scared/anxious. she was half conscious as well so she felt like her body couldn't move. moments later, a man knocked at her window asking her to open the door and for some reason she opened it and the man actually carried her outside through that window. the next thing she knew, she was already lying down on the hospital bed. She believed that it was an angel who saved her, sent from God, because when her father wanted to thank the man through a call and even through finding his home address, the phone number and home address didn't exist.
angels, let alone miracles are things that are not realistic if we see it from this worldly view. it would be a different case if we see it based on our faith/belief and religion. However, it still does work, the idea that she chose to "believe the unbelievable". her argument can be supported from her learning experiences and what she was told to belief when going to church or reading the bible. or even listening to other testimonies.

Discoveries of Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(specifically on literature)
"suspension of disbelief" talks about an individual's willed choice that constitutes to a "poetic faith"
the word "willed" or "willing" plays an important role in his definition because this shows that it's a choice that people chose, still have to go through a decision - making process. that is why it involves reasoning and how emotion is involved in the decision - process because that "sake of enjoyment" is the reason why they chose to believe the unbelievable. or how memory can also contributes to the process. maybe people watch news, stories that make this be planted in their mind: such scenarios or events can happen realistically and it does make sense. "because i have seen it before so why would it be possibly different for me this time?"

"Suspension of disbelief" is an essential feature of theatre. Is it essential in other areas of knowledge? Develop your answer with reference to two areas of knowledge.

1. "Suspension of disbelief" : a willingness to suspend one's critical faculties and believe the unbelievable; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.
2. "essential" : important, key, useful or vital. Is it applicable?
3. "develop": this relates to the previous question. With using two AoKs that I've selected, how can it be applied?

1. Religious Knowledge Systems
2. The Arts

Deus Ex Machina
when an object, event or character abruptly resolves a problem that is very unlikely to be solved. This has a positive application to the question.
the way that the problem is solved is called as "divine intervention"
Question to find out: Can "Deus Ex Machina" be applied in other areas such as literature, movies, real life?
Examples: in books and movies
- Cinderella's story: the fairy godmother saves the day by giving Cinderella a magical dress + glass slippers, a coach made out of a pumpkin, and servants out of animals.
Question to find out?
How about miracles? People that believes angels have saved them from a dangerous situation? - does it work the same way when it comes to religion? religious knowledge systems
perhaps this can be a possible counterclaim
RLS - my mom's miracle: she was saved by this person after suffering from a car accident. She was taken into the hospital and by the time she woke up, the man was gone and his address didn't exist. Is this acceptable to be used as a counterclaim?

Picasso's Lie
“We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies... I would like to know if anyone has ever seen a natural work of art. Nature and art, being two different things, cannot be the same thing. Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.”- art in its own form is an artificial work, an illusion. it uses all kinds of artistic/stylistic elements such as the use of colors, lines, even the concepts make it look realistic to us. these are used to convince the audience that it is realistic. it has an emotional appeal to the readers.
Picasso on Cubism
"A World History of Art" - the aim is not to reconstitute an anecdotal fact, but to constitute a pictorial fact.
Question to find out: What is the main difference of anecdotal - pictorial fact?
Anecdotal fact is something that is based on real data or information whereas pictorial fact uses more of images/pictures, graphics, etc.

What is cubism and its relation to this?

1. Reason - as coleridge have said, "suspension of disbelief talks about an individual's willed choice that constitutes to a poetic faith" the fact that he said that it is a willed choice to believe the unbelievable implies that this isn't a straight line idea or fact but people go through a moment of whether they want to accept the scenario as believable/realistic or not. it is their choice to choose.
2. Emotion
how people chose to disbelief based on their emotions. they use this as a process of their reasoning, or decision - making.
3. Faith
the fact that we believe the unbelievable, amounts to a kind of faith.
4. Memory
when an unrealistic scenario happens to someone, memory could be the basis of their reasoning or decision - making process. in the past, they might see similar things either in TV, or testimonies and so it is planted in their mind already that such things can happen to them and it does make sense to them just because they've seen it before in the past.
5. Imagination

"Suspension of disbelief" relates to scenarios that we tend to believe it's true just for the sake of enjoyment/we think it's something we've never seen before, something cool, however not entirely realistic and logical. In conclusion, for knowledge to be gained, a person needs to suspend a disbelief.
"sake of enjoyment" - this relates to our emotions and how we make our decisions on what we believe is true is based on our emotions/feelings.
