To support my position I will give you some examples.
If you believe that gravity is a scientific fact, you are basing that fact on the well know theory of gravitation.
In addition, if you look at the sky you may theorize that it is in fact blue or the grass is in fact green. This may well be a fact at present because currently the majority of the population is not color blind. Two thousand years from now people with color blindness may be dominate and at that time the grass and the sky will "in fact" be colors of gray.
"Facts" are as fluent as osmosis.
That things fall toward the earth when you drop them is a fact.
The theory of gravitation explains that, and many other facts.
