The idea of infinity has always fascinated me. The idea that a number can go on "forever" always seemed counter-intuitive. The various thought experiments regarding the concept of infinity always puzzled me. As a Christian, infinity represented to me a mark of God.
As I progressed through school numbers like pi always fascinated me. How an irrational number like pi (which went on forever) was always the same for every circle (no matter the size) literally blew my young mind.
Did anyone else have this experience?
Also learning about Georg Cantor and his theories were like reading stuff I always thought. Not because I had a superb intellect (not trying to boast here) just from an intuitive feeling I always had.
Also learning that astronomers discovered the universe is expanding.... and that the universe is finite... and time and space are the actually the same (according to relativity by Einstein)... how could anyone not believe we were created...
Sorry for the rambling... if anyone else had any scientific learning that expanded their religious experience please share!
