The Treatise

We cannot perceive infinity. The word itself is a definition by exclusion, "not"finite tells us nothing about what it is, only what it is not. People cite objects against this such as the Mobius strip; a single sided object with only one boundary component which has no definite end or beginning. This is a two dimensional infinite, which can be perceived in a three dimensional perception. With this logic, to perceive a three dimensional infinity, we must be able to perceive in a fourth dimension, which none of us as finite beings may do. We are constrained by time.

Since our reality is dependent on our perception, (i.e. those things which we cannot perceive we have no evidence for the existence of) I postulate that even though it is possible that such infinites may exist, they are imperceptible to finite beings, and as such are not part of our reality, as are their effects and abilities beyond the laws of physics (I use this as a generic term, including all the laws of matter and their principles in our universe.) If you accept this as all those intelligent enough should, you may also see that the idea of an omnipotent is not only pointless and impossible, but demeaning as the idea that we are subservient to something non-existent and non-effectual to us as a species.
