Ok, again, what you are describing is evidence not facts. Theories explain evidence, which when the evidence holds up in testing and research becomes fact, facts then help validate theories, which eventually, in very very few cases become what is know in science as a Tautology, or truth. If you studied the scientific method you would know this.

Wow... Who messed up *your* education?

In the scientific method, theories never "graduate" to "truth", and "tautology" is another thing entirely (try a dictionary). Sheesh.

If you studied the scientific method you would know this.

ROFL! Don't presume to teach your granny to suck eggs, son.
