I think it's reasonable to interpret Luke 11:5-8 as incorporating all three. We can reasonably assume that the individual in question sought out his friend (went to his friend's home) and knocked to get his attention (the friend states that the door is locked) and persisted in asking (that was the whole reason for his visit to the friend). Which means that A/S/K essentially comes down to "persist in asking, and you will receive."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
