NAtural science is both based on evidence and the authority that says things to be true This is an evidence based AOK. What is considered as a good piece of art is usually dictated by an art expert A lot of what is considered moral is considered so because of an authority. The Catholic church dictates what is considered as religiously just knowledge for the Catholics. Other respective leaders do the same for other religions.
