The only thing that makes any sense with respect to time and space IS a belief in infinity. If you believe things are finite, then they have a beginning and an end. So that begs the question of what was there before, and what is there after (referring to time); or where did matter come from before it existed; and what is on the other side of the physical boundary of a finite universe.

Heck, you believe in God and an afterlife… is there a finite duration to your time playing harp?

INFINITY is such an amazing concept!

In an infinite universe (time and space) you think that because we have not seen it, therefore it does not exist? We got past being the centre of the universe a long time ago. Infinity, my friend… infinity. It is HUGE!!!

I have often wondered if the capture of a facial expression should be credited to the photographer or the model.

Define consciousness. And don’t bother with the dictionary definition, I can find that myself. Tell me what it means in practice. I don’t believe a rock or piece of metal has consciousness. Does a dog or cat? Does a slug or a worm? Does an amoeba? How about a bacterium, or a v***s?

Consciousness is as hard to define as life itself.

I did my post-grad studies in cryobiology. I was able to freeze “live” cells, and when I thawed them some were alive and divided to produce cell colonies, others were alive right after thawing but then “died,” while others were dead upon thawing. Physically the cells were indistinguishable. So tell me, what is “life?”

BTW, I never was able to freeze “dead” cells and have them come to life after thawing. I really don’t know what “life” is.

But I do know that everyone and everything in the universe is “stardust” and with an infinite amount of time (yeah, I know you don’t understand infinity) a few molecules of the right type will come together under the right conditions to become “alive.”

You are wrong about non-life never producing life. All living things are made of the same "matter" as non-living things. It is simply a re-arrangement of atoms and molecules. All of the atomic elements are the same.

So given that living things are made of the same "stuff" as non-living things, in the infinity of time the "non-living stuff" could re-arrange itself into "living stuff."

But that is not enough; something has to give this glob of molecules "life." And that is something that you have yet to define.

You can differentiate living things from non-living things by their behaviour related to their ability to metabolize or reproduce. But given a blob of matter (call it a human, an organ, or even a lowly cell) what is the difference between a "live" cell and a "dead" cell? THAT is the essence of life, and I have yet to see a definition that is not "operational" (ie, it can no longer metabolize or reproduce).

Tell me what is missing in the cell that was alive and then died?

Your Wikipedia definition is irrelevant to a discussion of what infinity encompasses. When contemplating infinity you are not limited to "real numbers" because you can include ALL numbers, including imaginary numbers.

And before you say imaginary numbers don't exist, look up the meaning and use. Here is just one citation:

"Essentially, if what is being measured relies on a sine or cosine wave, the imaginary number is used. AC circuit analysis: Imaginary numbers are particularly applicable in electricity, specifically alternating current (AC) electronics."

As for your contention that only life begets life, start by defining "life" for us. And again, I will help you by citing from Wikipedia:

"Since there is no consensus for a definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive."

What say YOU now, Oh Wise One?

Infinitesimally small and infinitely large are identical at the beginning and end of time.

You still don't grasp the true immensity of infinity.

No Rac, you lose. Infinity means that ANYTHING that CAN possibly happen WILL happen... 100%.

Heck, that means that you might actually agree with me on this issue!

I concur with the other comments about the hair... it is better with colour. Leaving it uncoloured and grey just does not seem to suit the rest of the image in many of the other examples you have posted.

Your comment shows you have not grasped the true meaning of infinity.

The probability of so many conditions being just right for “life” to spontaneously happen is infinitesimally low.

But that is the beauty of understanding the true vastness of infinity. If time and the universe are infinite, then the probability of ANYTHING happening, no matter how small that probability, is 100%.

Thus, the possibility that there might be a god who created the universe is just as likely as the possibility that there is no god and the universe just “happened.”

Infinity… an incomprehensibly beautiful concept… that transcends all human understanding.

These shots prove that sometimes less is more.
