Is 10 / 3 an example of infinity?
3.3333333333… Or is that a finite number that is expressed infinitely?

Ha ha. That is why you are a regular.If the posts are lame and you are a subscriber, then excuse me for jumping to a logical conclusion, but that makes you what?

An infinite number is not the same sort of number as a real number but the set of all real numbers is uncountably infinite.One more thing Stu.
If you deny that all things came from nothing and didn't come from God, then that leaves something infinite, or something that has existed infinitely. Otherwise you are left with it coming from nothing.
Stumped again. It seems that your belief might force you to believe in something infinite or nothing. Infinity or zero?

It's an irrational number.Is this quite hard for you too t8?

As usual the Holy Wikipedia gives the guidance that is true salvation:
The decimal expansion of a rational number always either terminates after finitely many digits or begins to repeat the same sequence of digits over and over. Moreover, any repeating or terminating decimal represents a rational number.
So you can say that 3.3333333 recurring is a decimal expansion of the rational number 10 / 3 that begins to repeat the same sequence of digits over and over.
What was the point of this all again? I remember now: Ed claimed there was such a thing as an “infinite number”. It is true that there is no such thing in mathematics.

What god?Stuart
Stu. You are officially clueless. Your rants are also clueless. It is official. Until you can provide your clues, you remain clueless.
“Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”?
i.e.,
“Better not to make clueless judgements and statements (like there is no God) and be thought a fool than to make them and remove all doubt”.Thanks for the bump of this thread t8. Have you decided on an answer to my question yet? Each time I ask it you disappear from the radar for a while, presumably hoping we will move on to other things.
Do you predict that, since you appear to assert that the same code would be reused by a common designer, that the same jobs should be expected to be done in the same way in different species? (See my post of May 13 2009,17:06 on the first page of this thread).

t8, is it that you have finally acknowledged that matter and energy only appeared once space-time started expanding? This statement can be found at the bottom of the YouTube blurb for this video:
It's based on the discovery that energy is constantly welling up from the vacuum of space in the form of particles of opposite charge… matter and anti-matter.
So you agree that matter and energy that had not previously existed (“nothing” as in not anything there before) is still coming into existence as space-time expands.
Progress at last.
