Facts are a crucial part of science
How important are facts in science,compared to another are of knowledge?
Facts in science are the building blocks, and are like facts in history, which depends on facts to make a picture of the past, just like science uses facts to create further theories.How can science use the facts if they arenot proven facts, just recorded words, asin history
If a scientist were to prove that a planet existed beyond Neptune then they would be able to prove that there aremore than eight planets in the solar system

Does science need to be able to producefacts from is theories as builders do houses from bricks?
If science is able to produce facts from its theoriesthen it will become useful as an area of knowledgefrom which we can draw conclusive knowledge.Facts cannot be proven without being experimented,and when they are experimented they can always be disproved.

What makes a fact a building block for science?
A fact allows scientists to make assumptions.Assumptions cannot be made because a fact can never be proven.
A scientist could produce an entired theory from one assumptionthat is made from the finding of a fact.
This can be linked to other facts and then can bring about the formation of other theories which can prove more facts.
How does science use factsto prove itself as an area of knowledge?
Science can use facts to allow knowledge to be garnered from this area.Science cannot allow facts to exist with the theory of disproving
A scientist may use a fact to give something that is linked to this area meaning,such as the world is round, therefore, if I sail a ship around the world I won't fall off the edge.
This can be linked to the area of history, which is difficult to find facts whichare interpreted differently.
