 Okay, here's something that really cheeses me off.
There is truth.
There are facts.
Any variance between the two are because you didn't fully understand the
facts or the truth to start with.
That has nothing to do with things being impossible.  Nothing is
impossible. That is a fact. Any one who expends his energies may find
something is impossible for him. When you say nothing is impossible you
really need to understand who you are quailifying. Could a single cave
man blast the top off a mountian? Not likely. That could be a fact, but
I have no proof. What is the truth? The final destination of that fact.
When I generate a change in current I get a magnetic field. That is a
fact. It is true, therefor it is the truth. Electrons carry a charge,
they have a spin. Those are facts. They are true, therefore they are the
truth. You might say that you could remove the charge from the electron,
and then my statements would not be true. Not really. Since nothing is
impossible, you could do that, but then would it be an electron? No. So
you really haven't changed the facts or the truth.
Now, if you get all metaphysical and start asking "do we really exsist
at all?" I just have to say, take your circular logic and go back to
nirvahna where you came from. Truth is not relitive, and neither are the
facts. Peoples twisting of words are relitive in order to bring them
selfish benifit. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I'm right, I'm right. Just
because I or any one else claim to know all the truth or facts, dosen't
mean the facts or truth has changed.  What we state may be a
misinterpretation, or a ball face lie.
(again, sorry for the rant, and the spelling)

switched it to dicussion before I spam the poor innocents further..

There is no truth. Damn near anything is technically possible for anyone
willing to expend enough effort to make it so. If you wanted to you
could
probably turn whipcream into a powerful super computer.

The only thing common between facts and truth is that both are
mythological beasts.
