Questions and answers limited to one world view are like a diamond with only one facet cut into it. So much is missing.
Brian;
I'm not sure I get this.

There is much beauty and wonder which emerges from examining the ways things work in nature. (I'll assume nature is the 'world view' you are alluding to).
As a matter of fact, it is difficult for most of us, to wrap our minds around the way things actually work, as not in our wildest imaginings has anyone conceived of the things emerging from just about any of the Science disciplines.
I'm not sure the diamond analogy is doing it for me.
When you cut a diamond, you are altering its nature and creating an illusion which satisfies some other human craving.

Cheers
