Nylon is an example of what?
Nylon is a polyamide. There are two: nylon 6.6, which was invented by DuPont, and nylon 6, which was invented by BASF. DuPont had a patent on nylon 6.6 and wouldn't license it; BASF wanted to play in the polyamides market so they created a similar material using a different process. Of the two, nylon 6.6 has a higher melt point and is a little harder than nylon 6. Nylon 6.6 is a polymer of Hexamethylene diamine and Adipic acid (Hexadioic acid) both these compounds contain 6 carbon atoms each. so it is Nylon 6.6. (Which is true for nylon 6.6. Nylon 6 is polymerized caprolactam, so that's called Nylon 6 because caprolactam also has 6 carbon atoms.)

What four facts confirm the Old Testament?
Since the Old Testament was written as separate books over a period of centuries, no set of just four facts could confirm the reliability or truth of the the entire collection. Even if facts confirmed something about any one book, further facts would be needed to confirm the next book. So, no four facts confirm the entire Old Testament. It is easier to find four facts about the Old Testament that prove our usual understanding of the Old Testament to be unfounded.
