And in mathematics, infinity is an unbounded quantity that is greater than every real number.

Eternity – or infinite time – is time without end, without boundary. Time counts, but without end.

There are no "real numbers" in infinity, because every "number" has the same value. Thus, there is unity in infinity. Time, also, has little value in infinity, because time is a measure of change and there is no change in infinity. All points are the same.

That's enough thinking for the day. Thanks for giving me a headache!

Regards

You have just given an excellent reason why the answer "because God is infinite" is not appropriate or sufficient for all questions. God gives us answers that go beyond some timeless shrug.

God has purposed that time does "have value" since He created time and He created within time for our benefit.

There are "real numbers" in God's creation (the Trinity certainly comes to mind.)

And the "unity of infinity" is due to the exact fact that God creates everything for His purpose, including infinity.

All points are the same.

And thus, that fact supports the lie of universalism because not all points within God's existence are "the same."

So again, "infinity" is not the answer to everything. Whereas "God's will" is sufficient to answer any question (although graciously, He often expands on that answer through His word and the indwelling Holy Spirit.")
