Facts do not change, but understanding of the facts and how they are applied can change, because Truth is what people believe the facts mean to them. Truth is subjective.Facts do not change...

But facts are based on what is known at the time. So there is a huge difference between reality an facts.
Take your mind back to when the world was flat. At that time, given the available knowledge. Was the flat earth a fact? Yes it was, was it reality, Absolutely not.
Facts are relative to the time and knowledge available. They are barely more useful than theories.
Facts change all the time in science, you know that better than me.

With every instrument, test and textbook available in 2018 the conclusion about item A is inescapably a fact. All the scientists agree. Then in 50 years a new piece of information is learned that was previously unknown to science that changes the previous conclusions about the previously known Fact. So now in 2068 a new set of tests are done and a new conclusion and new Facts are proven.
If you accept that as science leans more things that can sometimes prove old ideas wrong, doesn't this very idea contradict the existence of a Fact by your definition.
Thank you, which is my point exactly. So a fact is not the immovable object that it is sometimes so stubbornly used to deny the existence of a yet to be discovered and alternate possibility. But simply today's best guess. All be it a very well researched one.Actually science is predicated on constant updates and doesn't stand on one theory because it is accept.....some non-scientists would call "facts". Scientists refer to them as "presently accepted theories".....fully expecting the new information will be found as people are always looking.
Remember people are still updating and/or adding to work by Einstein, Edison and Darwin just to name a few.
My problem with religion since I was 4 is that my inner core knew it was corrupted by man's ego.Both true and relevant., albeit twisted and misunderstood.
The Bible written by men for men with a lot of it supposedly written long after the events portrayed.

The Bible written by Elites for Controlling the population with a lot of it supposedly written long after the events that never occured.
What I argue in my big religion thread here, is that an update on the Bible was written in the 20th century to clear things up from being corrupted by asleep man and all. So it's very up to date.
