Infinitism for beginners

made the world. Infinitism teaches the same message.
The Universe is an Infinite expanse of space, dotted throughout with
countless galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets and, well, infinite
possibilities. The building blocks of our world, atoms, are the
building blocks of everything else in the vast expanses of the
Universe. Everything that exists is built from these atoms through,
ultimately, nothing more than fortune.
In the beginning, atoms collided. Eventually, enough atoms collided and
stuck together to form solid objects, floating through this infinite
expanse. Over time enough things collide and enough weld together that
we have planets and planetoids, stars and galaxies, comets and
asteroids and, eventually, we find life. In an infinite space, it is
only a matter of time.
The history of life, for the Infinitist, is the history of the
Universe. The creation of all that is, was and ever will be is down to
fortune, random chance, what we call fate. But just how random is
chance?
The central principle of Infinitism is that the Universe, being
infinite, is a place of infinite probability. The effect of this is
simply that anything is possible, and that more than this, everything
that is finitely possible must be a certainty, a science fact. If this
was not the case then the Universe could not be truly infinite.
In this way we can establish that reality is simply a question of where
and when a consciousness exists. Reality, like time, is relative. In
all of creation, the infinite expanse that is the Universe, the only
being that is or in fact can be everywhere and every when is the being
from which we are all made, the Universe itself.
It could be said that the only true God is that which gave us life,
that which created everything around us, and which always will be.
Christianity teaches us that God is all knowing, all seeing, and is
everywhere at once. The Infinitist asks, simply, how?
In the beginning there was the Universe. Everything exists within it
simply because the Universe allows it. We are all made of the stuff of
the Universe, our very building blocks the same stuff as that of the
world around us. Our physical form then is in essence the physical form
of the Universe itself. Christianity teaches us that ‘God made man in
His image’. To the Infinitist, by all definitions, the Universe is
God.
The Infinitist acknowledges this idea, and attempts to understand the
implications of such a statement. To do this, one must first of all
understand the nature of God; the nature of the Universe.
