An argument ensued today between i and my friends about the difference between fact and the truth. Even after checking the phone dictionary, we were still not satisfied. But we both agree dat there is a diffetence between fact and truth.

My stance is dat fact is a proven and an established event. While truth is a circumstantial event. For example, jesus is our lord and saviour- dis is d truth to only christians but not to other religion but the fact is dat jesus walks the surface of the earth. Dat jesus walks d surface of the earth is a generally accepted fact to all.

But according to some of my friends, truth is not circumstantial. Dat truth is d reality of an event; the actual correctness of an event. While fact is circumstantial and can be subjected to further correctness.

So over to you oooo. Wetin una think?

I think a fact is a certain truth that has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. But a truth in its ordinary is kind of negligible, not necessarily proven but expected to be accepted as real.

Both are as a result of confirmed and tested hypothesis but used in different context.

Fact or theory (sciences)

Truth (English word)
