The signifier is different from the signified. What you call "facts" are just symbols that refer to things, typically things that don't actually exist. Science creates terminology that describes the things that they talk. You cannot go outside and meet a man called "punctuated equillibrium" who introduces himself using that term and reveals that his basic nature is revealed in in these terms, someone created that term to describe natural phenomenon.
People can't know things in them-self, the ding an sich, they know the phenomenological world. Why not let science proceed and just be a little humble about it? Much of it will be overturned in the future anyways, consider the science/philosophy world from 1000 years ago.
