Hmm not really.
On what do you base your response?
And, on a related topic, how does the OP make any sense to you?

The clauses or pretexes don't indicate an ''everyone'' answer. However, given that we have freewill, I can fairly certainly answer the OP with ''anyone''.
''Making sense'', does not have to mean ''one definite question''. I see, at least two questions in the OP. They both are ''anyone'', /might be/, but they aren't ''everyone''.
I would rather the OP explain the meaning, since, like I said, I see more than one question there.

Do fiction or fact still fighting wars against what ?
Intelligence of understanding:

I've deciphered the OP's question. Here it is for your perusal:
[When one eats Mexican food and immediately gets heartburn, it is only an]illusion [that the heart is burning. Many people have thought] is it fact or fiction [that my heart is feeling this burning sensation. But it is actually the esophagus, near the heart that is burning from the gastric acid. You might wonder before] or [after you've eaten, if this is] fiction or fact [but I can tell you decisively that this is fact. There is really no use in] still fighting [against this verifiable thing. But medicine has been fighting many] wars against [heartburn and surely no matter] what[, it shall win. Don't you think so]?
[On an unrelated issue, I've also wondered about Artificially] Intelligent [machines. Do you think they could ever have the same degree] of understanding [that humans have? And what about our national morality. What do you think,] did we lose it [for the sake of advancement] or what[? Before I end this OP, I'd like to place a period next to a question mark].?
[Thanks]

Illusion may seem abstract but.it is indeed a fact since it occurs because of the reaction of chemicals im our brains so it does happen and it's somewhat testable
Illusions is abstract so can only be a fact within the human mind so then that mean it can also create visions that only within the human mind can be seen, but again, Intelligence is a known fact now but do we really understand fiction.
Four thousand years to write fact base on illusions but then human intelligence wasn't a known fact during that length of time so maybe that was the reason why the writing stop two thousand years back, hypothesis, the beginning of human understanding of human intelligence.

Hi Valjean
I suppose the reason why im using the word illusion is to do with many things, one is we are the most intelligent form of life that lives on this planet and in some strange way connected with all the reasons why we and probably everything else exist, also understanding the history of the human race you will know the progress of the human race was never achieve by accident.
Another reason could be thousands of years back illusions of the human mind played a great part in educating what we now class as intelligent which to me and im sure many others proves again that in some strange way the human mind is connected with all the reasons why we and probably everything else exist.
You mention the Maya civilization similarity to the Egyptian civilization and there where other civilizations in other areas of this planet that probably never met but yet had similarities in many ways including religious beliefs but that was then and of course you had all the wars.
But the strange thing about it is some of those wars are still been fought today, im guessing but maybe some illusions are still lost in the past.

Sorry, should have clarified. My bad.
When I hear the word "illusion" what comes to mind is the Hindu concept of Maya, usually translated as 'illusion'. It's the idea that we're dreaming the world; that the reality we see around us is not really Real, but a Matrix-like (the film) hallucination, generated entirely within our own brains.
Is this what you mean, or are you talking about myth and folklore as explanations and teaching aids?
