Late Pliocene (Blancan)

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV

Popular Science (SciPop) is designed to make it so that you can’t see the wood for the trees or a tree for the woods. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s part of God’s will that we call the strong delusion.

We have a specific example of scientific blindness today, rather than the broad generalized blindness that we’ve been looking at. Instead of not seeing the wood for the trees, we’ll see a failure to see a tree for the wood.

If someone ‘can’t see the wood for the trees’ (or in American English, ‘Can’t see the forest for the trees’) it means that they are so involved and concerned with all the small details (the trees) of a situation that they are unable to get a clear overview of the whole situation (the wood) and so often lose perspective and miss the most important point.

– Can’t See the Wood for the Trees: Origin and Meaning

We won’t be looking at Wilson N. Stewart’s work, but a chapter in a book edited by Kathlyn M. Stewart and Kevin L. Seymour called Palaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals.

We haven’t figured out if there’s a family relationship between Wilson N. Stewart and Kathlyn N. Stewart. They were both faculty at different Canadian Universities and they may be related. We would love to find out.
