Yes the sun is hot and yes men made an observation about it and yes that appears to be correct. This doesn't mean men are going to be correct about every observation.
The world at creation was different from the world after the fall and different again after the flood. The Bible gives us clues about that but does not tell us everything.
Both creation and the global flood were miraculous events not natural ones.
Anyone who was there to witness any of it is long gone so there are no eye witnesses.
Any evidence left behind is interpreted by men who again weren't there, who don't know everything.
There could be other explanations for things that we as mere humans can't even begin to understand.
Why I don't believe in evolution... - a link leading to my description of fossil forest demonstrating an old earth.
As described in the above linked post, of course there are many things we can easily understand without the need for a time machine:
1. If there are termite burrows in petrified wood, then termites ate away at prehistoric trees.
2. If there are trackways around these trees, then animals lives around these trees and walked, and this was a flat surface, un-submerged and of dry land.
3. If the fossil trees are rooted in paleosols, then they are in-situ or as they were when they first grew (meaning that they've grown in place over a long period of time, long enough for a forest to grow, and also meaning that these trees weren't simply deposited by a global flood).
4. If the petrified forest resides midway (vertically) through the Paleozoic and above (shallower than) Ordovician, Cambrian and precambrian strata, then we know that these trees were not present at the beginning of creation (because similar features, forests and trackways rest below this forest). Simultaneously resting below (deeper than) mesozoic and Cenozoic strata, meaning that much of earth history still had yet to unfold (similar features, forests and trackways rest above the forest as well).
There are things that we observe, much like the sun being hot, that are quite obvious to us. These things include the planet being thousands of millions of years old. And we dont need a time machine to understand the above.
And if you have another explanation for this example, aside from it being a prehistoric fossil forest that is millions of years old, then feel free to share (but of course I won't get my hopes up).
Once we agree that Earth is at least millions of years old, and that this is equally as obvious as it is that the sun is hot, and therefore is not "man's word" but rather is simple acknowledgement of what God has created, then we can do the same for evolution.
