I'm not a huge fan of the dominance complex. I'm not interested in establishing a hierarchy of entitlement. And this whole "infinite perfection" business is just that.
I'm not interested in your interpretive abstractions. You are inventing excuses to redefine that which has already been defined in order to define that which cannot be defined.edit on 29-11-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

Yes, judging from your point of view, because you think that you sum up everything in those terms; but you must understand that there are things which transcend the intelligence of the most intelligent man, and for which your language, limited to your ideas and sensations, has no expressions. Your reason tells you that God must possess those perfections in the supreme degree; for, if one of them were lacking, or were not possessed by Him in an infinite degree, He would riot be superior to all, and consequently would not be God. In order to be above all things, God must undergo no vicissitudes, He must have none of the imperfections of which the imagination can conceive.edit on 29-11-2013 by Shadow Herder because: (no reason given)
I Wonder why you People say that the infinite is to much for us to comprehend and understand. Who can deal this authority, and speak for all of us?
They might speak for some of you, But not for me.

Are you telling us that you are capable of grasping and comprehending infinity?
Because if that's what you're saying, then you either don't know what "infinity" means, or you're just full of bologna.
What if i said that i know what the infinite is?
Would it mater? No..... because you wouldnt never accept what i was talking about any way.
You must wait for some guy on a Pay Roll to tell you. That is how you work. Because that is how you have been instrukted to work since kindergarden. You are one of those who have been told not to think, Because there are People who are payid to da that for you.

I'm not even sure infinity exists. It is beyond our ability to comprehend or express, if it does, so I sure as hell am not taking you as an authority on the nature of "infinity".
Can it be said that God is infinity?
"An incomplete definition. Poverty of human speech incompetent to define what transcends human intelligence."
God is infinite in His perfections, but "infinity" is an abstraction. To say that God is infinity is to substitute the attribute of a thing for the thing itself, and to define something unknown by reference to some other thing equally unknown.
Will man ever become able to comprehend the mystery of the Divinity?
"When his mind shall no longer be obscured by matter, and when, by his perfection, he shall have brought himself nearer to God, be will see and comprehend Him."
The inferiority of the human faculties renders it impossible for man to comprehend the essential nature of God. In the infancy of the race, man often confounds the Creator with the creature, and attributes to the former the imperfections of the latter. But, in proportion as his moral sense becomes developed, man's thought penetrates more deeply into the nature of things, and he is able to form to himself a juster and more rational idea of the Divine Being, although his idea of that Being must always be imperfect and incomplete.link

I ask for logical discourse and I get esoteric abstractions. A lot of woolly ways to say nothing. If this is all you have to give to me, I'll just leave you guys to play in your sandbox.
But go ahead. I'll give you a shot. What's the "infinite", according to your perception?
Based on this, science state that the infinite dosent exist. And you probably see why Right?
I will stop here to see if you agree, before i go on.

I'm following...
You fallow, but do you agree and understand why the Scientific cummunity will never observe or measure the infinite?
If they can only observe and measure finite, they can not observe or measure the infinite. That must very Clear, if not you will not agree to how i am going to explain the infinite compared to the singularity / Our universe.

Which means you're about to explain to me the nature of something you have never observed or measured, correct?edit on 1-12-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
Not really. The infinite can be understod by the information we have gathered about Our Universe / The singularity.
With Our universe / the singularity; you know what the infinite cant be.

The finite has a beginning and an end.
The infinite has no beginning and no end - so there can be no 'after' infinity. It is the same as it can never be now again!
If it can never be now again - maybe, now is infinity. There is nothing before now and there is nothing after now - forever now - infinite now.
