Well, I haven't checked the board in a few days, and it looked like this post was going in a positive direction, but as the season would have it, conversation has turned to baseball....
anyways getting back to a statement from Rrhain and his comic book analogy. He says that we have "counted to infinity" and thus comprehended the concept of infinity. I can't see how this is possible, all we have done is understand that there are an infinite number of points between two defined points on a linear plane, in this case time, in geometry.. between A and B. We have not grasped the concept of a real infinity, and thats the point. Back to my first post when I said that infinity is incomprehensible, and Luke Wadel's proof of existence is just an attempt to bring tangibility to an abstract idea.
This post was never meant to be a legitimate argument for the existence of god, it was simply a site that I found and wanted a little input on others reactions from it. I enjoy a little philosophical babble every once in a while... so in short... bump.
