Reptiles, the class Reptilia, are an evolutionary grade of animals, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara, their extinct relatives, and some of the extinct ancestors of mammals. Due to their evolutionary history and the diversity of extinct forms, the validity of the class is not universally supported in scientific circles, though in practice, it remains in use by some biologists and more laymen, especially in mass media. The study of reptiles, historically combined with that of amphibians, is called herpetology.
Whether the archae is the "alleged" missing link between dinosaur/bird, or reptile/bird...doesn't matter, because both are equally false. It is like two people arguing over whether or not 2+2=5 or 2+2=7, they are BOTH wrong so it really doesn't matter, now does it?

I don't recall saying that God is infinite.

You just said that infinity cannot be traversed...so no need to get down here and give forth the notion that it MAY be possible.

No need to discuss it any further after that...
