A fact is that which is true no matter what anyone thinks. The simplest thing I can think of to illustrate this is that if you take a walk off of a ledge of a tall building it is a fact that you are going to fall. You can wish that you don't fall or try to will the opposite effect but like it or not the laws of gravity demand that you go down!!
Firstly can I ask if you are a strong atheist?
You said "a fact is that which is true no matter what anyone thinks". Can I hold you to that definition?
