Something that is said to be a "[[fact]]" is a concept, statement, thing, scientific law, or event that has been unequivocally (indisputably) proven to be reality, i.e. [[truth]]. Facts are always based on concrete, verified evidence which substantiates their reality.  

Something that is said to be a "[[fact]]" is a concept, statement, thing, scientific law, or event that has been unequivocally (indisputably) proven to be reality, i.e. [[truth]]. Facts are always based on concrete, verified evidence which substantiates their reality. However, on the other hand, a too strict application of this procedure might result in a closed-minded [[materialism|materialist]] worldview. [[Atheism|Few]] would argue that some aspects of reality, namely the divine, should be subjected to a strict materialist critique, because these methods still rely on imperfect human understanding of the world. Combining a reality-based outlook on life in everyday matters while still maintaining a strong reliance on the - no less real - truth derived from [[Bible|higher sources]] is a reasonable way to realize the potential as well as the limitations of human understanding of reality.  

[[M. Scott Peck]] described ''sanity'' as "dedication to reality at all costs".
