Ask an Atheist

In math and science, infinity isn't a practical function it is viewed as acceptable as a concept because it's simpler that way. It isn't something a person can entirely comprehend. This is just accepted as the way it is.

Bring this into belief in any form of divine being and those same people suddenly go WTP IS THIS HORSEpomegranate.

Where's the inconsistency again?

Infinity is a concept, not a practicality. No matter where you find it.

Science hopes to discover the truth, but is far from truth itself, or practicality as you call it.
For example, what Galileo thought to be the absolute truth turned out to be relative depending on where on earth he stood. There are countless instances in Math and science where you will just have suck the giant plantain and say, oh well, it works, b'itches.

Religion (at least Christian teaching, as I recall), on the other hand, believes that God is the absolute truth of whatever you can wrap your mind around. Why is the tree green? God made it so. Why is the ocean so big? God made it so. Why am I trying to comprehend God? God made me so. Why CAN'T I comprehend God? God made it so.

I don't have anything against religion, I just prefer to have that fuzzy and warm feeling spread out from my stomach when I do somebody else a favor instead of taking out my good-deeds-for-afterlife checklist and add another tick.

I do have a belief that there is some entity out there governing the laws of the world as we know it. But I prefer to think of him as the programmer of the Matrix or something like that. We'd be doing out pomegranate and him doing his, but he can easily unplug the machine and boom, we're done. Some of the constants upon which our universe was built kind of give away that feeling. Had they been slightly different, our universe wouldn't even exist. It makes no sense so I just attribute it to some guy trying to plantain with us by hardcoding in some random number, maybe 42.
