However My Son!  
'fact' is not a fact unless it is prescribed by a theory...in other words  
there are NO facts in science unless we prescribe one by a theory...and when  
you withdraw the theory away, all the facts attached to it disappear into the 
thin air....it is like this; if we didn't invent QM then we wouldn't have   
electrons..but, of course, if electrons are _some_ facts for you :-> then  
what would you do without QM, you would look like a fish out of pond :-)  
  
as you say, fortunately, the middle-ages are over with all their bogeys called
- scientific-facts...:-)..now we can live happily here-after without clinging 
to some theories as if they were revealed words of the God...and also  
we don't confuse the revealed words of the God with scientific-facts....  
:-)....happy ending....:-)
