So nothing is a fact as we can never know what the fact really is since what we see today as fact can change tomorrow?
Not even remotely close to what I said.
I pointed out that the FACT involved the temporary nature of the event ("you have a dollar" relates
only to the point in time at which it was spoken) Saying I have a dollar is not a permanent state nor does it imply having said dollar in the future.
You say evolution is not a fact but it could be proven as a fact 100 years from now and thus your fact that evolution is not a fact is just a temporary state of reality as well.
If you aren't going to actually pay attention to what I say, don't comment on it, gibberish.
I said "It may, in fact,
be a fact" in response to Goobieman right off the bat.
If it is a fact, it is a fact and it would have always been a fact.
If it is not a fact, then it is not a fact and it would have
never been a fact.
What we discover 100 years form now is totally irrelevant to teh veracity of evolution today.
The "theory" of evolution may in fact,
BE a fact, as I first said. What we discover in the future will not change this.
And pot meet kettle:
Please attempt to follow the conversation before you join in, especially if your point is to be condescending.
I quote you for your sake. Take the time to digest your own statements and self-apply them.
My conversation with Goobieman showed that Tucker Case's point that facts do not change was semi-inaccurate. Me having a dollar was a fact at the time and now it is not, which is a change of fact.
You fail to understand my positiona and you have yet to show my poits are innacurate. You've played word games and failed to provide a single logical support for your argument.
In FACT, my position it 100% accurate. Facts
do not change. This will be illustrated soon enough.
I say "semi" because from Tucker Case's mentality that fact that "I have a dollar" never actually existed as it was a temporary state of reality and not really a fact. To follow this though we must accept that nothing we say or do is indeed a fact until 100% hindsight is achieved.
I have a dollar is present tense pertaining to the moment it is speoken and nothing more.
Let's say that you state "I have a dollar" right at this instant, what you are
really saying is. "I have a dollar at 5:41 on Feb 16, 2009."
It doesn't mean jack-**** if you give away the dollar
three days from now, the FACT remains that you
had a dollar at 5:41 on Feb 16, 2009.
Reality may changes, but the FACT remains the same AND NEVER CHANGES.
Another fact that is extant at 5:41 on Feb 16, 2009 is that you will continue to HAVE said dollar until such time as it leaves your possession, at which point the fact will be that you do NOT have said dollar.
Explain to me how on Earth these
fact can change simply because at some later time you give the dollar away? Would you NOT have had the dollar at 5:41 on Feb 16, 2009 if that happens?
Of course not. Because facts CAN'T CHANGE.
It is the truth
regardless of what happens later, word games aside.
Now,
without playing word games (tense shifting, etc), please show me a
single example of a
fact that has ever, in the history of mankind, changed.
