My wife and I were having a discussion about Faith and Quantum Physics. I believe they are pointing to the same thing. I wife's response was what do the theologians think. My response was, neither they nor physicists can, without specifically stating technically, what it is. That only the Holy Spirit can, if you allow Him, to be-transform you into what it is. It's always about relationship.
I agree, theology and physics both wrestle with questions that reach beyond simple answers, although they approach them in very different ways. Science seeks to understand the patterns and processes of the universe, while faith asks questions about meaning, purpose, and relationship.
But I really appreciate your final point. For many people of faith, the most important things about God are not simply ideas to be analysed, but a relationship to be lived.
Perhaps that is why Jesus so often invited people not just to understand something, but to follow him. There is always a point where knowledge has to become encounter.
Thank you for providing me with a possible future reflection 😉
I seem to recall that the idea that laid my arguing to rest was this: "It is more important to be loving than to be right."
I love that saying, and I have to keep reminding my teenage son of it often!

For me, I believe it's both/and it's all part of encounter....
Through knowledge you get understanding, understanding to get wisdom...
Let's reason together...lol
