Mark Twain said something like "the difference between fact and fiction? Fiction has to make sense."
Just though I'd toss that in there.
But I'd go with life is a fact.
Life, fact or fiction?

i believe life is what you make of it and surely a bit of fiction makes it more fun!

Life itself is not the issue, even single celled oganisms posess life. The issue here is whether or not human experience is fact or fiction.
"I think therefore I am." but what about everyone else?
Life is simply the need for interaction between the animals of the same species to procreate.
Thought is the intelectual conections made on an existential level necessary to further human experience.
On the whole I say fact, there is too much wierd stuff out there for one person to take all of the credit for
Life, fact or fiction?

If it's true that "Cogito, ergo sum", then all you people out there must either be thinking as well (and some people I know don't do much of that), or are figments of my imagination. If that were true, then I must have a twisted sort of imagination...
Conclusion: one can exist without thinking, I think...
