(just by counting from 1 to infinity is already something infinite or udefined). One might argue that the trend will remain the same but if you consider the fact that numbers are infinite in nature then there would be infinite ways to manipulate them. We only think that we'll run out of things to do if we have infinite time because we only have a "finite" grasp of things around us. We are bound by the limitations of our mind since we are part "material". I don't think everything that could be done can be accomplished if we have an infinite amount of time. Probably because we are forgetting to consider what is outside that everything. That "everything" beyond our own understanding of everything. We can only see the trend because of our limitations as finite beings. I think that infinity doesn't only apply to time alone but to other things as well. Maybe when we become infinite beings, we might be able to see eternal afterlife in a different light. For now, it is something that none of us really know. maybe someday?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1167155535861033892006-12-26T09:52:00.000-08:002006-12-26T09:52:00.000-08:00Im not saying Victor is genuine but i think you sh...Im not saying Victor is genuine but i think you should consider many thing`s such as the fact that the universe is made up of 90% dark matter of which we can not see, but we know it`s there. Ask yourself this, what is more unbelievable, the fact that a solid atom can split into two and then when not been observed but when you try to observe it, it behaves as one single atom. The truth is that i think we can not afford to make assertions about specific things, that we dont know anything about as yet. So to the die hard skeptics i say do not judge a book by it`s cover until you have at least attempted to read it first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1141525419285948772006-03-04T18:23:00.000-08:002006-03-04T18:23:00.000-08:00Victor Zammit is a kook.Do a google for "AndrewSko...Victor Zammit is a kook.<BR/>Do a google for "Andrew<BR/>Skolnick+Victor Zammit"<BR/>to see what I'm talking<BR/>about...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1137616686982383272006-01-18T12:38:00.000-08:002006-01-18T12:38:00.000-08:00Just think of how you felt during the happiest mom...Just think of how you felt during the happiest moment in your life and if you had the choice of experiencing that for <BR/><BR/>A ) 90 yrs<BR/>B) forever and ever<BR/><BR/>Are you sure you would pick A ????<BR/>check out www.victorzammit.com ( Great site!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1137001860989591382006-01-11T09:51:00.000-08:002006-01-11T09:51:00.000-08:00You will have to stop worrying about money and wor...You will have to stop worrying about money and worth before you can fathom something that goes beyond your SELF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1118294271778586342005-06-08T22:17:00.000-07:002005-06-08T22:17:00.000-07:00Oops!

Like many christian ideas, they sound better than what they really are. But to your average christian who doesn't read much of his/her bible or critically think about anything, vagueness is a way of life (and death).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1118270812498632992005-06-08T15:46:00.000-07:002005-06-08T15:46:00.000-07:00Hi Jim!Thanx for stopping by. Intersting insights ...Hi Jim!<BR/><BR/>Thanx for stopping by. Intersting insights regarding Jesus and which life is more important. <BR/><BR/>If souls refuse to die, then I think we are in some trouble personally, although theists may not agree with me. <BR/><BR/>If souls refuse to die (ie: eternal), then wouldnt they also have to have existed before the human is conceived? Maybe not if God is creating them and then keeping them eternal after their creation. But I tend to rely on logic more than theistic writings, so I would contend that if a soul cannot be destroyed, then it also cannot be created. For if a soul has a creation point, then it is not truly eternal. <BR/><BR/>But if a soul CAN be created (as the Bible claims God did) then there is no reason to think a soul cannot be destroyed, although if God exists, it may require some special pleading to him to get him to let the soul in question expire.Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1118268069148003562005-06-08T15:01:00.000-07:002005-06-08T15:01:00.000-07:00Aaron - Excellent points on the after-life.

Christ clearly stated that it was this life that matters most, therefore we should enjoy it and try to make it more bearable for others by serving them. <BR/>My only question is what if our souls refuse to die? If the afterlife is no more avoidable than this life was? Kind of like being stuck in the movie "Groundhog Day". We might not have any choice. <BR/>Take care.Jim Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456957270007304493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-1118258417620963432005-06-08T12:20:00.000-07:002005-06-08T12:20:00.000-07:00Thanx for the positive remarks delta and blueboy.G...Thanx for the positive remarks delta and blueboy.<BR/><BR/>Getting brain juices flowing is exactly what Im trying to do.
