However, in "Truth and Tolerance," the Holy Faith sees the basic problem as the cleft between reason and faith, in a world where faith to many is nothing more than feeling. He quotes Werner Heisenberg worry(in 1927) that this may lead to disaster. The Chjristian view, as stated by the Holy Father in dis discussion of the wisdom books, that it was the concept of wisdom that brought together the personal God of Abraham together with the "High God"

"The rationality that is to be seen in the structure of the world is understood as the reflection of the Creative Wisdom that has produced it. The view of reality now corresponds to some extent the question Heisenburg formulated... "'Is it completely meaningless to imagine, behind the ordering structures and principles of the world as a whole, a consciousness whose intention these world express?" The radical evolutionists say, no. They are not open to a question posed by a great physicist.

To the extent that there is value in imagining that, say, there really is a tooth fairy, I suppose the question has merit. Science builds on proof, though, and not imagination. Ungrounded adoption of imaginings is the realm of faith, if not to say superstitious ignorance.
I appreciate your post. Really.
Indeed, it is a wet bird that flies by night.
Baptists, Catholics, atheists can agree on that.
