    But why does it hit the target when math says it both can, and can't hit it?
    math does not say it can't hit it. do you know what a convergent series is?

    We can hold an egg in our hands. We can easily crush it, or we can choose not to. We make similar choices all the time. How can God not be capable of a choice?
    He's capable but as soon as he expels the knowledge, he is no longer omniscient........which would contradict what the Bible says about God.

    lol blind people still arguing over "sight"

    Blind group "A" - "I have been blind since birth - I cannot debate "sight" - and I understand that all human beings on this planet are also blind" (I belong in this group)

    Blind group "B" -"I have been blind since birth - but I will tell you all about "sight" because I went to jr college and swallowed the sleeping professors brainwashing"

    Blind group "C" - "I have been blind, brainwashed & programmed since birth - I will lecture, debate,argue,kill,condescend - on things I have never seen, things I am not aware of, and things I will never see - furthermore - I am still asleep - yet I will preach to people on the subject of "wakefulness" (pretty much every spurs-troll-talker)

    I tried to talk about convergence earlier and that is what get chinook to finally surrender completely when he was whacking off to limit notation for reimann sums. It is good stuff but completely beyond their scope.

    I also belong to Group A for the most part.

    The only times I veer from it is usually to troll someone on here who is being ridiculous.

    So you don't believe in the story of Abraham. You could have given this simple answer months ago

    He wasn't wrong. I haven't taken math since I finished calc 3 back in 2010, so I'm not as sharp as I had been, but you don't really use infinity as a number or actual value, but you take the limit of x as approaching infinity. That's where he took issue. Infinity doesn't have an actual applicable value

    I was trying to clue you into the concept of the style of biblical writing used back then, or what most theologians claim was used, i.e. allegorical.

    You seemed to expect everything to be either black or white, and I was trying to explain that it was mostly gray areas.

    You thought I was evading answering you at the time, but I wasn't.

    I don't believe the story of Abraham was an actual series of events in the literal sense. There may well have been a man named Abraham, and the story may have been loosely based on him, but I believe for the most part it was a whole lot of symbolism, i.e. the number and names of his sons, wives, cities, etc. we're symbolic of other things, and the message was morally based.

    Style of writing is 100% irrelevant to my question and the mere bringin it up is deflecting from the question

    But thanks for clarifying that you don't believe the story of Abraham actually occurred as written

    No, I don't believe it actually occurred EXACTLY as written and that is because of all the allegory.
    The same with most of the O. T.

    IMHO we modern day scholars understand it less than they did back then when it was written.

    lets say we have a Pizza. i can cut that pizza in half. i can cut the 1/2 into 1/4. i can cut that 1/4 into 1/8. i can cut it in half 100 times, and then keep going, making more halves.

    there are an INFINITE number of times i can make halves. but we still have a finite amount of pizza, don't we?

    infinite series of numbers can still lead to a finite value. the most famous is 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 can go forever but it adds to exactly 1

    All that math, all that knowledge you seem to have and yet you support the reason your here on earth is a result of two apes ing?

    What a waste.

That's where he took issue. Infinity doesn't have an actual applicable value
    You do that in certain approaching certain summations like riemann sums but there are other manifestations of the infinite as for example in geometric ratios. If no matter how close you look there is always a smaller value then that is unbounded. Scale is a funny thing. Conservation principles indicate that matter/energy is never created or destroyed.

    I get the need to reduce scope along vectors or to whatever scaling convention they want to use when you are extending multiple axis but a lot of that is just tedious. "It's not infinity but its this vector extended to infinity." You are still considering that vector as unbounded. Just not everything else. That is the point of the notation. The point is not to say that they were just kidding about the whole infinite thing.

    At the end of the day when you make calculations using certain irrational numbers, they produce repeatable results. I put the answer to whether or not the stuff that makes up reality ever truly ends or begins in the same category as whether or not there is a last digit of the number pi.

    Were you aware that some have posited that the atom is its' own universe unto itself?
    And in other words a single human can be compared to a single atom in a microcosmic sense, comparable to a human being compared to God in a macrocosmic sense.
    Thus in a scenario such as this, there is no evidence to say that an atom may or may not have sentience in and of itself.
