But,....if the Big Bang happened because of a God Almighty Bang, then God almighty had something to do with the Bang?.....no?
Not necessarily, the Bang you talk of may just be one in an infinite series of bangs occurring in an infinity of universes, whose multiplicity occurs at all times in perpetuum! .. ;)))

At this moment, and for ever, there may very well be infinite number of Green Goblins irritating, or not, an infinite number of people with an infinite number of music videos! :)

An infinite number of Gods?

Can you imagine the trouble that would ensue if that resulted in an infinite number of religions? =))

Half infinity is zero.

Well, the Hindus have a few Gods, and I don't suppose the indigenous people of the remote parts of the World share the beliefs of the Western World.

Are you alluding to a Cantor's Countable infinity PN? There are many types of infinities, as I am sure we all know.

https://plus.maths.org/content/does-infinity-exist

On an infinite number line every number would be in the 'middle' of the number line in the sense that there would be an infinite number of numbers before and after it. The middle in that sense is meaningless.

We must never forget that that debates and quarrels about the nature of infinities partly drove poor Cantor to depression, insanity and penury! =))

By way of 'a' God......no?.....mayhaps?

Or perhaps also there is NO infinite series of bangs.....perhaps there is really just nothing...expanding outwards into endless nothing.....do you need to qualify it as such?

Or 'My Fathers House has many Mansions',...where do they all fit then?


Will my lost socks be found?

My socks tend to fall into another dimension.

If they fall into a parallel dimension...then do they have a chance of meeting up with the original socks by way of a wormhole?

I think all my missing left socks went here...

PN needs to do the BOAC test. Lay an infinitely long piece of string across your lap. Cut it. How long is each piece of the remainder? Infinite or zero?

Is a line around a circle or a sphere of finite length - or infinite?

What about a Mobius loop?

You can see why navigators tend to abhor infinity, in the same way that nature abhors a vacuum, in the sense that with infinity there is no possible arrival at destination infinity. =))

Finite in dimension but in topological terms.a journey around such finite geometries can be extended infinitely though!

My answer is frivolously simplistic!

Infinitely unsure of one's position! Not a good place to be!
