During the last Philosophy class I attended, there was a very interesting question erupting in the classroom. The question was " what makes a fact a fact?". Most people think of this as a simple solution with only one direct answer but I am convinced that there are many different possibilities for this answer. For example some may think that a fact is anything that they believe to be true, although it may ultimately be false. Some people might say that a fact is what is found ina nonfiction book or an encyclopedia. This to me is also a wrong way of looking at it. Subjects of science are spread throughout these books but science is a field of constant change. It never stays the same. The best way to describe a fact to me is anything that is proven true until proven false. This may sound confusing but if you take time to think about what I am saying , we never really know what is true for sure. There are many things that we are convinced are true but are they really?
