The Power of Fantasy and the Incarnation
Fantasy, far from being childish, can lead us to a higher truth that surpasses ordinary facts. It helps us understand that seeking truth goes beyond mere facts and that there is a difference between facts and truth. The incarnation, the central story of Christianity, is a fantastic and hilarious idea that defies factual explanation. This story of God becoming human demonstrates God's deep love for humanity and shows us what it means to be truly human.
