Well take 10 and divide it by 3 and you get an infinitely recurring number.  If only life was as simple as mathematics.

Most people will agree that space is infinite although that’s impossible to prove as we just can’t see that far.  Not that we’d ever be able to see that far if it was ‘infinite’ anyway.

I personally think space is infinite after all if it’s not what’s at the end of it?  Some have different ideas on the shape of space and the like but personally I just think it goes on forever in any given direction.  Now I’m not saying the universe is like that but space itself and if that is the case I think it’s reasonable to believe that other universes exist.

Now here’s the problem with infinite space.  Supposing you looked in any given direction and could zoom in infinitely passing objects as you go.  What would you find?  The answer… infinite combinations of things as it’s ‘infinite’ in distance.  I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point you came across an exact replica of yourself looking back.  This could also work in any given direction you look because of these infinite possibilities based on an infinite distance.  Now that’s crazy but all the same doesn’t it have to be true if you believe in an infinite space?

Many also agree as I do with an infinite time.  Although it’s difficult to just imagine that time always existed but then many believe space always existed so why not time.  Also wouldn’t we need an infinite time for an infinite space?  It seems to me you would in fact as they link together quite well whist depending on each other.  If this wasn’t the case then space wouldn’t be infinite because it wouldn’t have the time to be created on an infinite scale.

Some would say… ‘Space is infinite but then space doesn’t necessarily have anything in it.’  Touché!  I agree with this but for other reasons I’ll come back to.

Add infinite time to infinite space and you get infinite combinations at infinite time in the past, present or future.  I’ve heard people say, ‘Ah but time is a human concept’, which I don’t think is the case, because time was here before we were.

Now if you think time and space is finite.  Which I’m not saying isn’t possible but without an infinite possibility of existence how can God exist in the first place to create anything?  ‘Because he doesn’t’, you may say but then what created your finite space or time?  Apart from that consider that we know our universe is expanding and if space is finite, what is our universe expanding into?

If however like me you believe in infinite space and time then it should be relatively easy to believe in an ever existing God (if there is a God in the first place).

Personally I believe in a God that has control over everything in space but always existed with time.  That might annoy some Christians because we tend to believe that God created everything including time.  I can see how God would create space but not time.  Mostly because time isn’t really anything at all but is just a concept to help us to comprehend events in space, real as time is though.  However like the Bible says, ‘His ways are not our ways’, so I’m happy to just admit I know nothing. :)

The Bible is ace and takes the pressure off.  I think our brains weren’t designed to understand everything.

Update 1 - 2009/10/14

I've found the answer.  You can have infinity as this razor proves...


Found someone selling this so took a quick snap. Apparently they've designed it so you can remove the cartridge.  Why you'd need to do that with an infinity razor I'll never know.  At least something will survive till the end of time!

I think it would be quite a good investment at £3.50.  Think about it you could even hand it down through the generations and people would be saying that it was as sharp as the day you bought it.

Here's the screen saver I made up from my last post which is supplied to you as freeware.

The screen saver provides some animation, commands of Jesus (New one each day (Community has same one each day)), images (rotated every two minutes and you can change them via the screen saver settings).

It also works on duel screen monitors.

I've tried it on the wife's rubbish XP machine and the performance is ok.

Some may need to download something called the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1.  The screensaver should help you to do this.

Why do so called ‘do gooders’ sometimes try to regulate the way we should act and think with regards to our own religion?

Why are people sometimes so insensitive to Christian beliefs and expect us to not get upset about it? It’s in God’s plan I'm sure but things are happening so fast that we’re becoming a Godless nation.

From a Christian looking at our country we are as a nation always breaking the commandments and I believe most if not all break, ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.’ Which is in the form of lying / fibbing, which in turn is the sign of a lack of love for our neighbour with or without considering God.

T-Mobile the other day called me up saying one of their staff said I was interested in buying a phone. To which I replied, ‘I think it’s more likely that they just lied.’ To my astonishment he didn’t go on about company policy, morals, etc but thanked me saying, ‘I’ll mark it on our systems as they have lied and we’ll keep an eye on him. So are you interested in broadband?’ *sigh*

We’ve lost so much as a nation through annexing God so successfully. I’m constantly reminded by people of how our kids are out of control, the media is corrupt as are politicians and no solution is likely to come around. Whilst I agree with them I think articles like the above are just snippets of the removal of good moral practices that can be found from Christianity that lead to such issues as these.

It's also a perfect example of how companies have black and white polices that offer no flexibility even when common sense contradicts it. I’m always amused when people find my Christian view ‘It’s written that’s why’ funny when they themselves live under stringent and inflexible polices such as these. Funny how we accept a black and white policy from Health & Safety but some can’t accept one of the laws from the 10 commandments.

Bad news for me? Not really, after all I’m sure of my destiny.

Bad news for us? We could spend a life debating that question.
