Couple of questions:<br /><br />"For the uninitiated, how did Cantor demonstrate the possibility of an actual infinite?"<br /><br />His diagonal proof. <br /><br />"Generally speaking, at what point does a flawed understanding of God become the worship of a false god?"<br /><br />One can cross that line from different angles. Ultimately, God only knows the answer to that question. But the better part of wisdom is to leave ourselves a wide margin for error.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-88034985739645148332009-10-23T10:43:01.710-04:002009-10-23T10:43:01.710-04:00He used the diagonal argument, where you can alway...He used the diagonal argument, where you can always generate a different irrational number. Say that you written down all the irrational numbers. You can write down a different number that is not on the list.Vytautashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563655929016752682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-33646564686748872072009-10-23T10:32:54.569-04:002009-10-23T10:32:54.569-04:00Interesting read.

More accurately stated, the Koch snowflake has a finite area, but the perimeter of that snowflake has infinite length.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-44750897004605817242009-10-22T13:18:29.884-04:002009-10-22T13:18:29.884-04:00Well, from where I sit, "comfortably", o...Well, from where I sit, "comfortably", oh no!, :0) I believe God has dealt with this whole infinite business this way, ah, take it or leave it, but it is what it is, this way:::><br /><br />Rev 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb <br />Rev 22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month.
