Mike's Infinity

You may have guessed that I am fascinated by such imponderable things as nothing, infinity, eternity, timeless and the like. They are things we never come across in our daily lives and exist only in theory. There is we are told by people of a far greater mental facility than I have, that the implosion of a star collapses into an infinitely small point of infinite power. If the point is infinitely small then it can only have position and no body, it is so difficult  to imagine; and what of nothing it can have no boarders and its totally empty, is it only a theory but did it ever exist? Eternity can have no time as it has no beginning or end and tomorrow and today are the same, a circumstance that is beyond our experience and understanding. These are really words we use without thought and most probably inappropriately, to think about them deeply I have found is an interesting mental exercise.

I often wonder why we as humans accept things we cannot visualise and yet understand their meaning, I find it just as mystifying that atheists cannot accept the existence of God. Are our expectations too high and our ability to belief too little?
