There's always more infinity...
Outside of all
the relationships, drugs, sex, politics, wars, history, intelligence,
discovery, worlds, planets, galaxies, and gods...there's more infinite
space. There's no denying that infinity exists. Everyone must admit that there is an
endless infinity. Light can’t reach it, hyperbola’s don’t touch their asymptotes, and
things can always be cut in half. There's always more
infinity and more infinity. Aside from all the opposing views that atheists/agnostics
direct at theism, I question exactly how how theism is incorporated into infinity - how
could god and infinity possibly exist together.
You might say that infinity
is just a reality or idea that we as humans have come up
with, but that’s not true. Infinity is a fact. Imagine yourself in our (provenly)
ever-expanding universe with a full barrier so that you could not escape, and that you
could get in a ship and travel to the end of it, and reach this barrier, but you can’t
pass through it. Just because there’s a barrier there doesn’t mean there’s not something
on the outside of it. Say for example you conceptually set an algebraic x = { universe };
Shouldn't you always be able to represent x + 1?
If you allow yourself to think you're too traditional to believe there’s more outside
of our universe because we can’t pass a
barrier, then you’re crazy. Keep in mind that I’m not defining infinity, just stating
that it exists. I’m not just talking about infinite numbers, here... I’m talking about infinite
space and infinite existence. It's incomprehensible to imagine infinity, and it is
not logical to try to give a designation to a certain part of infinity (such as our
universe or a god), when there's always more infinity. So, if infinity doesn't stop,
there's no single controlling/omniscient force or entity that created everything. If
it created everything, it must have also initiated infinity, and to suggest that is to
say that the creator is of a greater existence than infinity, which immediately brings
about a circular argument.
For the sake of being circular,
if you believe that infinity
undeniably encompasses everything, then to say that something was
created, there must be a creator, and what created that creator?
Another creator? More infinity?
Certainly there cannot be multiple creators. And can you truly personify a
supposed singular creator
as an individual, a uniquely human concept? There's always more infinity.
And don't tell me that
infinity itself is a god, because that's just a naive excuse to evade the
argument. Does the set
of all existence make a certain creator the exception to the rule of
infinity? Of course not ...
because there’s always more infinity. It keeps going. What's the point of
a god if there’s always
more infinity ... the amount of mental effort necessary to even consider a god is miniscule in
comparison to the size of infinity. And infinity doesn’t even HAVE a size.
You can hopelessly think
about it as hard as you like, but how can there be a layer of theism, or
a layer of a certain type of god when there's another layer of infinity on top of that god? In that case,
to try to attach a name to infinity like Jesus or Allah doesn't make much sense. Arguments like
these are usually vain ones, but since it is a fact that there's always more infinity, is this one
really all that vain? The point is ... theism and infinity DON’T exist together. That doesn’t mean
they CAN’T exist together harmoniously in our minds, but they don’t in reality. Does that mean we
should find something else to look up to? No. Does that mean that theism is not an important thread in
a moral society anymore or should be abolished? No, of course not. You cannot comprehend infinity or
tag our human understanding of it with a god. That’s all. With the absence of a god living in infinite
space, all agnostics live just as normal lives as anyone else, and will continue to as a part of this
never-ending infinity ... because there’s always more infinity.
