Book Synopsis
INFINITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS...
Infinity is commonly assumed to be a logical concept, reliable for conducting mathematics, describing the Universe, and understanding the divine. Most of us are educated to take for granted that there exist infinite sets of numbers, that lines contain an infinite number of points, that space is infinite in expanse, that time has an infinite succession of events, that possibilities are infinite in quantity, and over half of the world's population believes in a divine Creator infinite in knowledge, power, and benevolence.
According to this treatise, such assumptions are mistaken. In reality, to be is to be finite. The implications of this assessment are profound: the Universe and even God must necessarily be finite.
The author makes a compelling case against infinity. Any defense of the infinite will find it challenging to answer the arguments laid out in this book. But regardless of the reader's position, 'Forever Finite' offers plenty of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the subject of infinity from the perspectives of philosophy, mathematics, science, and theology.
