Even Professor George Ellis (who is a believer, a Quaker), who is one of several thousand practicing cosmologists, has expressed "reservations" about physical actual infinites, but this is an example of where you and WLC are cherry picking your sources. I could make equivalent claims about New Testament history by citing Professor Bart Ehrman.
But, let me ask you this, "If space is a physical actual infinite, how did we arrive at our present location?"
What part of that was cherry picking?
1. The Cambridge University Conference or
2. The +Plus Mathematics Magazine and the article authors or
3. George Francis Rayner Ellis, FRS, Hon. FRSSAf (born 11 August 1939), is the Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Complex Systems in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. He co-authored The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time with University of Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking, published in 1973, and is considered one of the world's leading theorists in cosmology.[1] He is an active Quaker and in 2004 he won the Templeton Prize.[2] From 1989 to 1992 he served as President of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. He is a past President of the International Society for Science and Religion. He is an A-rated researcher with the NRF.
Perhaps I should have found someone who did not co-author a book with Hawking?
No one has claimed space in an actual infinite. It might be potentially infinite. Read the article.
