2. Infinity Illustrates That the Universe Has a Beginning | Mind Matters
The absurdities that an infinite past time would create, while not a definitive mathematical proof, are solid evidence that our universe had a beginning.
( Non-Computable You (Discovery Institute Press, 2022) by Robert J. Marks is available here. ) The size of a set is how many elements it contains. The set of letters {A,B,C} and the set of girls {Shirley, Goodness, Mercy} both have a cardinality of three. In a previous post, we showed that the infinities of counting numbers and even numbers are the same. Many subsets of the counting numbers have the same infinite size as the counting numbers. For example, consider the counting numbers and the set of numbers divisible by 10. {1,2,3,4,…} and {10,20,30,40,…} The size of the two sets is the same i
