So, you find it sad that some people don't have the same level of faith in science as you do? Well, some people don't. By the way, I am not sure where "fact" comes into science. I see the following as dealing with science, not "facts":
* You start off with a hypothesis, which is a conclusion about the nature of reality. It usually comes about intuitively, as a flash of insight from either other experimentation or an observation about reality, or other theoretical work (string theory fits this as there is NO scientific experiments done to validate it now). You then end up looking for research to end up verifying it may have some validity or not.
* After some research has verified it has some merit, it becomes a Theory.
* When a Theory ends up being able to be verified to the extent that it is good for making predictions, then there are some Laws said to come about are able to be used to make other predictions and develop mathematical models. From these comes the ability to create technology that has an impact on the human experience, for good or evil.
In this, I don't see any "facts". I see "facts" are brought up as things that people have a degree of faith in that people who consider a piece of information a "fact" will consider those who don't consider it true to be "stupid", "misinformed", "liars" or whatever other negative term people come up with.
