The cosmic regional block
January 20, 2018 at 4:47 am
Until this moment in time; infinity has been a concept, moreover a mere thought on paper.
Most assume it's there; but nobody can ever grasp it.
From a philosophical perspective; it's not possible to measure infinite quantities using finite methods and tools.
But doesn't that put forth the "why" question? Why is everything limited and everything has a limit?
It's literally a cosmic regional block: we are stuck on this dimension; with trillions of values to keep us busy, while infinity is beyond our reach, metaphorically and literally.
What a constraint; if you think about it !

Limitations only exist in this finite dimension.
That doesn't mean that we are bound to exist in this finite universe for ever.
Smart people in all ages did found the answer of how to exit this finite dimension.
They found out that the only way is to become one with the master of the dimension.

Can both of you just accept reality of permanent death and stop this magical nonsense?

Light from some areas of this finite universe will never reach us. The universe is that damned huge. Plenty to keep us busy in contemplation without making shit up!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Can atheists just accept reality that there is not such a thing as a permanent death and stop this magical nonsense?

If you see a tiny drop of water lost somewhere far far from the ocean you would never think that one day this drop will end down in the ocean and become one with it.
Never say never.

I never look at a drop of water and consider it "lost".

If you say........... Light from some areas of this finite universe will never reach us. The universe is that damned huge. Plenty to keep us busy in contemplation without making shit up!...........all this is pretty much similar to be compared with a drop of water lost somewhere.

Suppose we do live in an ultimate infinity of sorts, but that this local universe we occupy is just a finite part/portion of the infinity. What is the problem again?
Thinking in terms of mathematics: 1, 2, 3, and other natural numbers are finite numbers, yet altogether comprise an infinity of numbers.

According to my faith; I don't believe anybody ever went there; i.e exit our current finite dimension.
All claim, and none provide enough evidence after returning from the "journey".
Take N.D.Es for example; or dreams, or alcoholic intoxication fantasies. It's always big claims that can be explained with a simple Whiskey shot.
We are stuck here according to what I believe.

Why? give me one reason to believe you.
I disbelieve in this opinion, for the same reasons atheists disbelieve in theism.

Big enough to keep ego fooled. And big enough to make someone thinks, too:
Quote:Sura 57, The Quran:
( 20 ) Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the non-believers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

Assumption is never a problem. The author can always assume what they want; and it will never change reality.
Reality is only decided through facts. That's the problem with infinity: there is no example for it existing or being there.
