A fact is a pragmatic truth, a statement that can, at least in theory, be checked and confirmed. Facts are often contrasted with opinions and beliefs, statements which are held to be true, but are not amenable to pragmatic confirmation.The word fact derives from the Latin Factum, and was first used in English with the same meaning: "a thing done or performed", a use that is now obsolete. The common usage of, "something that has really occurred or is the case", dates from the middle of the sixteenth century. Fact is sometimes used as synonymous with truth or reality, as distinguishable from conclusions or opinions. This use is found in such phrases Matter of fact, and "... not history, nor fact, but imagination."
Fossils.
Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.
In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.
1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.
2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.
3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.
