Creation: God the maker, sentence 4
Christians disagree about how to read the six days, as literal days or as a poem-like story, but they agree on the main message: God is the creator, and science and faith can ask different questions.
Who acts: Christians, God, science · What happens: disagree, read, agree, be, ask · To what, where: creator, different questions
This is a sentence of the lesson «Creation: God the maker» of the religion ethics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Christians, God, science), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R1-cc-next ×4, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
