Fred, nobody is arguing that facts do not exist. I am talking about what happens after the observation. What you notice, what you remember, what you leave out, how you connect it to previous experience, how you imagine and colour those facts, and what conclusion you draw from them. That part is yours. That is where perception and bias enter. Saying “I don’t” is exactly the kind of certainty psychology should make us careful about. And when we speak about the Bible, you cannot treat what is written there as fact just because it is written. Some parts have historical support, some do not. The rest is belief and part of a belief system.
