Seeing is believing v. Believing is seeing

Picture life as a straight line that stretches to infinity. Now obviously none of us can see into infinity, so we can’t see the end or if there even is one. All we know is right now that line is perfectly straight.

It’s a curious thing, but those who can see how the line changes and curves are called idealists or optimists. Those who cannot are called realists or pessimists.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
-Albert Einstein

I think knowledge is definitely more important. Knowledge of the Bible, leaves us not to guess or "chance" when it comes to our souls and that kind of wisdom is the most valuable, as it cannot be replaced with anything more important than the decision of the destiny of our souls.

@LadyGrace Knowledge of the bible is the world you know and that is your straight line. If you believe there is nothing else, then yes, nothing could be more important. This is how many people think.

@Reject Yes, but not only me. Millions of others. The spiritual realm was not meant to see ... yet.

@LadyGrace Indeed. I did say many people. Actually I’d go as far as saying the majority of the human race relies almost exclusively on what they’ve learned.
