Peace and Blessings Family,
Can you name a fact that is NOT based on opinion? If so, please do so below.
I'd like to better understand what exactly a fact is ... and having these examples will help toward that end.
Thanks a Bunch!

In the Spirit of Sankofa,
.......First, lets agree upon definitions that clarify facts from opinions. If accepted, here's one Sister Destee:
Fact and OpinionA fact is something that is true about a subject and can be tested or proven.Look for clues such as: " 56% of...., or "The patient experienced..."An opinion is what someone thinks about that subject.Look for clues such as:"I believe...", "It's obvious...", or "They should..."http://mrsdell.org/gr2/factopinion.html
From here, we may be able to determine the differences between the two, if definitions cannot be stipulated and accepted, it will be difficult to do so.
For example, here's more insight or opinion to the famous question...Is the earth flat or round?
8. The Big Blue MarbleThe Earth is, in fact, not really round. It is called an oblate spheroid meaning it’s slightly flattened on the top and bottom poles.
As well known and well traveled as our planet is, there are still new things being discovered every day. In fact, most of our oceans haven’t even been explored yet which is why when new depths are located; they often come with hundreds of new species. Rain forests offer up new animals and plants as often as we can explore them. The Earth is constantly changing, shifting, and exposing new secrets for humans to marvel at. It took many years and many great minds to solve the problem of getting through Earth’s atmosphere into the wide expanse of space beyond. Here are ten amazing facts about our home that you may not be aware of.

Peace In,
Brother Clyde ... why are you talking to me ... ... hahahaha ... ... i'm just kidding ...
I Love You! ...
Okay ... i shared my definition ... there is no substantive difference between a fact and an opinion.
They are essentially one and the same, varying only in one's mind, depending on how much of it they believe.
I don't want to necessarily be right on this, as it upsets the whole apple cart, but the truth is the truth.
I'd like to be proven wrong, so I asked for examples that might do just that ... prove my thinking wrong.
You then substantiate my claim by showing how flimsy the fact regarding the shape of the earth, actually is.
You not finna make me krazee Brother Clyde ... i'm already krazee ... lol ...
Love You!
