Well, day the logic I am using is that there are infinities inherent in the
universe (time and space are infinitely divisible and so are numbers), so I
fail to see how a finite universe could produce these infinities.  IMO, a
finite universe should not have ANY infinities in it.  But I do take your
philosophy into consideration.  It is different, not my philosophy, but
different and I appreciate that.
