It's facts that I believe in strongly.

I do think more emphasis is put on data nowadays. There are less and less people who believe in legend without concrete facts.Eric77 wrote:Both are equally important.

Exactly. I feel like they are tales and are often blown out of proportion.Christina Rose wrote:I do think more emphasis is put on data nowadays.

Facts can be changed @Vickie Noel and @Christina Rose. They are all a factor of time, even scientific theory is only real till the thesis is substantially challenged. I consider legend more stable, though it can be interpreted differently as its always outlandish to non-believers.Christina Rose wrote:I can agree with you that facts and physical data can pretty much speak for themselves, but I still tend to lean more towards legends as being more significant in terms of knowing where you came from. To some, those stories of creation, legends of warriors, and various rituals and such, are all that's truly left after war and violence and even weather. Those are our links to preserve, even if we can't put them in a museum.Vickie Noel wrote:I tend to err more on the side of data, though I understand the significance of legends as it forms the basis of a people's culture, sometimes, their origin as well.

I also think both are very important and do complement each other. However, where data is missing, legends should remain an important means to beliefs about the past.BoyLazy wrote:Both are important but I would give a little more preference to data while not completely ignoring the importance of legends.

In reality I find that data is the more impactful information that is needed to make a good decision.

Data definitely can not be ignored.The Researcher wrote:I think both are important.legends carry the legacy to coming generations but the data is there for the real analysis. So, data cannot be ignored for legends.
