Sri.Sriram Sivaraman,

A statement becomes 'fact' only if it is backed by evidence based proof. On the other hand, any statement based on belief need not have any evidence based proof. I humbly request you to change the thread title as 'Religious belief', please. Thank you.

Cheers!
 
There are some known facts in the above list like we should not sleep with our head in north side! I request our fellow members to provide some evidences for the other facts to enlighten all of us. I would also search on my side:thumb:
