See what I mean? What exactly do you mean by no facts in science?

Well, for one thing, the sun
doesn't rise and set every day; the Earth revolves around the sun so that the sun
appears to rise and set.
In science, there are data. However, nothing is proven, so nothing is considered truly "fact" as most people think of it. It is entirely possible that things will show all our theories wrong. The more data we collect, and the more we refine those theories using that data, the less likely it is that we are wrong, but nothing is truly proven.
(Oh, and yes, the gun Oswald used was connected ballistically to the Tippit shooting. See
