Once again, you're speaking about perspective and
interpretion of a thing.  I can say 2+2=7 until I'm
blue in the face, but that won't make it so.  Even if
I'm colorblind, purple is what it is.  If evolution
were a fact, my not believing it wouldn't make it not
factual.  I'm just saying that, wether we can get to
it or not, there is a fact/truth underlying all these.
 ofen elusive, but still there
