Gee, I don't know why they call it that.

Santorini-
QUOTE In science always replace the word fact with observation, or theory, or truth whichever is intended to convey the intended meaning best.
Remember
If the meaning is obersvation then it is falliable.
If it is theory than it can be disproven someday.
If it is claimed to be truth then it is a statement of personal conviction which is outside the domain of science.
Is it coincidence that your post is identical to what John P. Pratt has on his website?
QUOTE In popular useage it can mean either "observation," "theory," or "truth." As an example of each, one can say, "it is a fact that every time I have dropped this ball, it fell to the ground." That is what has been observed so far, and the word "fact" can be replaced with "observation." One can also say, "it is a fact that every time I have dropped this ball, gravity pulled it to the ground." Even though this statement appears very similar to the first, "gravity" really refers to a theory proposed to explain why the ball is observed to fall. This confusion can often be avoided by always replacing the word "fact" with "observation," "theory" or "truth," whichever seems to convey the intended meaning best. Remember that if the meaning is "observation," then it is as fallible as the observer. If it is a "theory," then it also could be disproven someday. If it is claimed to be "truth," then it is a statement of the personal conviction of the speaker, which is outside the domain of science.John P. Pratt - Fact or Theory

Arguments over whose God is more factual makes you all look like 2000 year old Troglodytes.
No, it's not even over that...it's over 15th century interpretations no less. Give it a rest.
We are all made up of star stuff. Matter cooked up in stars from hydrogen and helium atoms. We were lighter than air and invisible. Reality is such a mind blower and a far better story than your God fairy tales.

I QUOTED Pratt
Check the beginning of my writing!
We are, scratch that, some are conditioned by society that when we hear anything that begins with
Scientists say, that it is undeniably true.
Regarding the Bible and creation there are MANY scientiest that disregard evolution because it is (quote): scientifically bankrupt.
Read: The Second Law of Thermodynamics
it is one of the most powerful presentations of support against evolution

Santorini has a 9 year old concept of evolution. The mind of a child trying to explain why science they don't understand is wrong.
Santorini is just a funny clown. It's not something you take seriously and discuss. Her child-like mind can't understand, plain and simple.

"I felt that I was literally standing on a plateau somewhere out there in space, a plateau that science and technology had allowed me to get to. But now what I was seeing and even more important what I was feeling at that moment in time, science and technology had no answers for. Literally no answers. Because there I was and there you are – there you are, the Earth – dynamic, overwhelming, and I felt that the world was just, there’s too much purpose, too much logic, it was just too beautiful to have happened by accident. There has to be somebody bigger than you and bigger than me, and I mean this in a spiritual sense, not a religious sense, there has to be a creator of the universe who stands above the religions that we ourselves create to govern our lives." [9]
"Looking back to see the Earth in all of its fullness and beauty was like looking out from God’s front porch. It was the one single most vivid memory [of the Apollo missions]. That view brought a new perspective about the world we all share. If we could put everybody on that spot for five minutes, the Earth would be a different place." [10]
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Eugene_Cernan believing all the order we see around us is an " accident " that is the fairytale.

JESUS DID THE ORGANIZING for His church and whenever men go beyond that pattern (found only in the New Testament of Jesus Christ) they do so at their own peril. One needs to only read the New Testament to see the problem that has been created over the last two centuries within the churches.
