Must we also (in our scientific quest :lol: ) lookup the meaning of the word "story" and compare that to the meaning of "fact"? :lol:

The word "story" (as in HIS-STORY) does not exclude, nor preclude the "story" being composed of "facts"!

That’s based on your assumption that the word “story” and “history” are the same or similar!

ie: The “Little Red Riding Hood” is a story, but is it history too? :lol:

Now come on Oracle, quit wasting our time with bollocks! :roll:

I made no assumptions. You can have a story based on FACTS ... just as you can have a NARRATIVE based on facts! ... the assumptions are all yours ... that narrative and myth are the same. :roll: You have failed to correct your mistake.

So carry on dwelling in ignorance .....

Come on, GR! Next you'll be telling us Jason and the Argonauts is just a story and that he didn't kill all those skeleton soldiers - like in the film...
