This reminds me of the saying " I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you"

I knew you will say the "human mind". But the concept itself is what I'm referring to. In other words - when someone says infinity - what does it mean - number wise or space wise (inner/outer)?

No it is not. No void of Space can be timeless, not even if it is infinite. It is just that it's timeline is a absolut constant.
There is only one void of Space that can be infinite and that is the void of Space that is a absolut constant.
Well.... if it is not infinite it must be a finite. So the singularity can not have always existed. It must have been formed like all finites have.
The singularity is not a absolut constant. It does not have the properties of being infinite.
How do you know that without evidence? Timeless is not the same as infinite.
You are dead wrong and equivocating different meanings of infinite. Something can be timeless without being infinite. Stop being so stubborn.
What are you talking about? I said it could be timeless, not infinite. I never said the singularity was infinite, but eternal is another story. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

I think at this point, our position is the equivalent of trying to convince a schizophrenic who has gone off of their meds that the hallucinations they see aren't actually real because the only evidence of their reality lies within the mind of the person hallucinating.
Nothing that anybody says will convince them of anything other than the reality their impairments are creating within their own relative corner of space/time, devoid of any subjective or measurable data. It's futile at best.
knowledge is a funny thing..... is it not?
Everything that has a beginning has a cause. So, what's the answer to this simple question: If something has no cause, does it have a beginning? What say you?
Knowledge can be true or false. In science, knowledge is defined by evidence.

You've repeatedly shown you do not understand Science neighbor. Beyond that "truth" is a subjective, moral based idea. Evidence is evidence is evidence.
You are also not very informed on what the most favored end of the universe scenario is. The big crunch (your so called implosion I guess) is not it. Just a hint.
So again, you don't understand science, so s top pretending you do

Again we have someone preaching Words without anything to show for.

Science is just a method by which a person can search for answers. It doesn't inherently create or attract atheists. Many scientists are very active in using good objective science to see if there actually is some logical, hard evidence out there for what could be defined as "God."
Issac Newton, maybe the smartest mathematician who ever lived, spent most of his life combing through the Bible and observing natural phenomena to pin down the existence and nature of God.
He failed. But he tried.

Dude, it is a CONCEPT related to counting, not a real thing. It's based on our numerical system that WE CREATED so that numbers can keep increasing as high as we need them to. It doesn't mean that anything infinite anywhere exists.

Speaking as a Polytheist and a Scientist.... care to prove what you just wrote? Or is this a UPG? Because you've just implied that only atheists are scientists, which has been disproven in this thread.
