With global warming that’s pretty obvious.

With basic evolution theory, not so much.

It never obvious to the person being deluded.

Bellflower: "It never obvious to the person being deluded."

Btw, I totally blame my tablet's word completion function for the unintended insult in post #28.
I didn't see it until just now, and apologize for it.
No offense intended.

As to who is being "deluded" and who is not, I will grant the philosophical possibility that all of life is but a dream (sh-boom), but realistically the more useful assumption is that natural reality is just what we see or can detect.
Learning the exact nature of such reality is what science is all about.
So science can only be "deluded" if reality itself is but a dream.
And I wouldn't go there, because that's not what the Bible teaches.

What the Bible teaches is that God created the natural realm, that He is above it, rules over it and, on occasion, over-rules it (miracles) -- not that the natural realm itself is illusion, or more negatively, delusion.
