Facts, as Reagan realized, are theories that have become so plausible, so dependable in making confirmable predictions, that we can use them to effectively solve practical problems. As the Nazi's tried to do with evolution.
You need to state which usage of Facts and Theories you are using here, because if you are talking about scientific facts and theories, this is completely wrong. There is a theory of gravity, and there is the fact gravity exists. They are two seperate things. The fact is that if you let go of an object in the air, it will fall. The theory tries to explain why. Even if every single person agreed that the theory worked every single time, it's still a theory (not "just" a theory, a theory). One cannot change into the other.
