Request: Math expert to prove God doesn't exist.

There are multiple remotely plausible accounts of our universe.

If actual, discrete infinites can exist in our world, then our universe can exist eternally, and does not need God to create it.

That's the gist of the argument. But to develop this further, I need someone who is familiar enough in transfinite arithmetic and set theory to help me with a few issues first. If you're one of them, hit me up.

It doesn't take fancy arithmetic. Unless something stops it, our universe will continue to exist infinitely into the future, albeit eventually as an ever expanding cloud of photons, barring one or two hypotheses that have this iteration of space-time collapsing. There's no strong reason to think our universe won't go on forever in one form or another.

My argument is an attempt to PROVE atheism is TRUE.

Seriously, you guys are embarrassing.

Atheism is not a claim. It is the condition of not believing any gods exist. Your argument is an attempt to prove that God isn't a necessary explanation for the universe, but there's no need for that, since if God hasn't been proven to be a necessary explanation for the universe, there's no good reason to think God IS an explanation for the universe, let alone a necessary one. Trying to prove something isn't something there's no good reason to think it is, isn't a very significant endeavor.

There's lots of proposed Gods, disproving one doesn't disprove all the others anyway.
