 Stories  . have their own internal consistency.

Yes, stories can be either True/Real/Factual or they can be Fiction

Fictional stories can be set in real places/times but they are still 
fictional stories, no "if"'s, "but"'s or "maybe"'s!!

All the Star Trek's are set in the future so they cannot be real. Earth 
may develop that way so that it might resemble the *fictional* Earth as 
shown in the Star Trek series', or it might get blown up by an astoried 
next year .... we don't because it hasn't happened yet ... if it ever 
happens!!

Sure, back in the '60's, Roddenbury wrote a *story* 
/script/treatment/whatever about the Star Trek universe, but it is no 
more real than the Earth of "Blade Runner", or that
"Batman's" Gotham 
City is real or that "James Bond, 007", is out there somewhere keeping 
the world safe from nastiness (or should I have mentioned Maxwell Smart 
here??)!! Because they are *FICTIONAL* , not real in the slightest!!
