Thus, science does not acknowledge the concept of intentional deception, because doing so would show that compelling evidence does not necessarily have anything at all to do with reality, much less the truth. That is, compelling evidence can be easily fabricated by beings who are more intelligent than the beings who later "discover" it, and without there being any indications that the evidence is in fact a fabrication.

In other words, religious texts as well as scientific evidence are both merely illusions, courtesy of Earth's alien controllers. The Reptilians control faith and fact. As above, so below.
