      Not always. Do your own research. Double check what anyone calls fact.

        What if the books are discovered to be wrong? Ex: Carbon can't be the real name for an element. It's made up by other people that we have to learn.

        If books are discovered to be wrong, then we accept the fact and move forward with the new knowledge and information that replaces the incorrect information.

        And in that we too would evolve. Everything changes. Nothing remains the same. That's evolution.
