If we believe the scientific model that the universe started from a Big Bang, then literally at the beginnning there was nothing. Now when the universe exploded into existence it began to expand according to science.

Now here's my problem. If something starts from somewhere, i.e has a beginning it can never be infinite in size or any other way, just not possible.

You cannot expand yourself to infinity because you'd never get there. By expanding you'll always be bigger than you were before but not as big as you are soon going to be, kind of like Bigaru or Boxing Gorilla :P


Anyways imagine it with numbers, if you start at 1 you cannot ever get to infinity by adding numbers because there will always be a higher number out there.

If the universe started from a tiny fixed point and has expanded ever since it cannot be infinite in size. If you could trace it back 15 billion or so years to the beginning (according to science) and it would be so small you could hold it on an eye of a needle then how can it be infinite in size now?

Not possible, it's just very very very very F****** big but not infinite.


Thankyou.
Well thats your theory, heres mine:



I believe that electrons and neutrons are to a cell, what planets & suns are to a solar system.
Solar systems are to a galaxy what cells are to an organ.


My point being, that everything is part of a bigger body. And that body is part of a bigger community of bodies, which inturn makes an entity that we can not comprehend.
IMO the chain only goes on. And on. And on and on and on... an Infinate chain of bodies & organisms.
