ME>BS>ME>The infinite anything is already illogical and undefined if thought 
of

ME>BS>   It is not necessarily undefined, but can be defined in many ways.
ME>BS>And infinity is anything *but* illogical.
ME>Logic is the art of noncontradictory identification.  To speak of the
ME>"infinite" is to speak of something beyond measurement.  Measurement is
ME>the relation or effect of one thing to or upon others.  If something
ME>cannot be measured it has no relation and no effect to or on anything
ME>else, which is another way of saying it does not exist.
Wrong.  Plain wrong.  Under the rules of scientific methodology,
you cannot talk about anything unless you can measure it in a way
that can be repeated.  If something cannot be measured, that
does not mean it exists or does not exist; it means you have
nothing to say about it.
To claim
ME>something exists which does not exist is quite illogical.
Word games, pure and simple.
