Why is it your personal favorite? In "justifying" the theory you select, your response should consider the following questions:

1. Does it pass the common sense test? Can it be easily explained to layperons in logical terms that everyone can understand?

3. What evidence is there to support this theory?

4. What research or data exists to support this theory?
