In deed it is! Let us give thanks for having evolved in such a way as to successfully link our sensory/cognitive array to something real. Good old evolution!
But you know theists if it's not sprinkled with divine fairy dust it has to be "Random Chance" or "Can't be relied on" It's has to be top down (As if the insures the above ) never down up .

Remember back to when we could barely detect light at all? Swimming randomly around in the ocean, coming up t0o high and getting picked off or too low and finding nothing to eat. Those were truly the bad old days. Once we could detect light though, oh boy. Moving toward it or away from it worked like a charm.
Yeah good times . Well for us for all those who died it kind of sucked.
