What is one thing that ALL wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agree is between heaven and earth?

Clouds?
Birds?
Trees?
*and no smileys for any of those...*

I know! Rain!

They share the "ea" between them.
Air?
The "And"? (as suggested above)

Actually, it'd be the " and ".
"heaven"+"and"+"earth" = "heavenandearth".
But it could be death. No, that'd be earth and heaven.
Actually, the questions flawed: *we* can't agree on what's between them!

Is that because we're not wise men?

I say "and", and "and" say I
Look! A palindrome!

That's not a palindrom, mate, this is a palindrome:
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.
(I like that one because it doesn't look as contrived as most)
As for the question: I don't know. Not the foggiest.

Could this be the world's longest one-word-palindrome?

A long word, indeed!
The longest German one, I can think of is "Lagerregal" (shelf in a depot). But I have a really long sentence for you:
"Ein Neger mit Gazelle zagt im Regen nie!" (useless to give any translation, because it is pretty much of a senseless phrase...)

Themselves?

I'm not really here Posted Nov 22, 2000
I think the question is odd, as if the wise man are of different religions, they won't all believe in heaven anyway.

Wisdom?
Truth? (Or maybe lies?)
Nothing, as Heaven may not exist?
Some kind of connection?
Ambiguity? 
Hmmmmmm.........
