A popular claim made in conjunction with the Kalam argument for God's existence is something like the following: past time cannot terminate in an infinite regress because it would take an infinite amount of time to arrive at the present moment, and one cannot reach the end - which would be the present - of an actual infinity. It's often stated that only potential infinities can exist - that is, a future continuance of time which never ceases - but not actual infinities. Is there any validity to this latter assertion? If so, how can an omniscient being, with actual infinite knowledge of the potentially infinite future, avoid the very same predicament imposed by actual infinities?
