Go to literally any modern math book above the high-school level. Completed infinities are commonplace and produce no contradictions. If you look at a good set theory book, you can see discussions of different sizes of infinity and questions we have concerning such. If you go to any analysis textbook, you will see discussions of sequences, which are infinite collections *as a commonplace*.
You are so far from being correct here, it is laughable. I have over a century of mathematics to show there is no logical problem with completed infinities.

The set of all integers is a clear example of complete infinity.
Note here Steve's use of the word "completeD" instead of "complete". To me, this is quite telling. It's like they can't help but think agency has to be behind everything that exists.
Good point! He sees it as a process instead of as a thing. That is a basic mistake.
