Objectivism argues against God on the premise that infinity is an irrational concept. But mathematics shows infinity is rational. In geometry, the number of points between A and B on a line segment is infinite. In set theory, A = the set of positive integers, B = the set of negative integers, these are two sets with an infinite number of elements. Infinity times two, a perhaps difficult but rational concept. This shoots down the argument that there is no God based on the allegedly irrational nature of infinity.
