Ah I see that "Evidence" post to to which your latest question was referring.
It's actually a fairly silly question. Michael says "There are many forms and types of evidence", ask him what kinds there are. And from there you can address what value you see in each. You don't have to give some kind of full blown complete textbook answer to any question, it IS okay to ask questions back in order to get to what is really being asked of you.
Oh, and "building a worldview" is not a simple linear process, worldviews grow and 'evolve' through ones experiences. Yes over time one starts to value certain ways of looking at things (rationally, emotionally, to certain ends etc.) but it all tends to be rather 'organic' in nature.
Over all just be honest, including your ignorance and lack of expertise and experience in certain matters.
