Yes to both. Imagination A.K.A. thinking outside the box is what enabled Einstein to develop many of his physics theory's, enabled Copernicus (see my avatar) to consider the sun was the center of our solar system and not the earth, enabled people to consider that there is only one God. Without imagination, people would think more like animals or fish.

Where is the dividing line when it comes to faith?

To be more clear, I mean the dividing line between what we know and what we believe. Leaving out "imagination" for just a moment.

How are you defining imagination here?

"Making stuff up"?

How do you feel imagination plays a part in what people “believe”?
