Not all data are accurate, but insofaras they are, they determine the validity of what one knows.

Hi Matthew.
Data is a reality. Data put together is knowledge. A bunch of related facts. None of this is truth however.
There's a body of knowledge for every subject you care to look into, you could gather, gather, gather, like a great computer and be called 'intelligent'
That just about covers it. Notice I haven't mentioned understanding, or knowing. They are spiritual matters related to truth.
Different level.
