Use of infinity has advanced many intellectual fields, such as [[mathematics]] through [[set theory]] and [[singularity|singularities]], [[quantum mechanics]] through infinite [[uncertainty]] density, and [[physics]] through the [[Big Bang]] (infinite [[energy]] density) and the speculative [[black holes]] (infinite mass density).

In addition, recognition of infinity -- such as infinite time or infinite strength -- is helpful on a personal level in dealing with adversity.  [[Jesus]] emphasized the concept of infinity often in his miracles and parables.  He rejected the mistaken view of the ancient Greeks that infinity is non-existent and unintelligible.<ref>{{cquote|The Ancient Greeks generally conceived of the infinite as formless, characterless, indefinite, indeterminate, chaotic, and unintelligible. The term had negative connotations and was especially vague, having no clear criteria for distinguishing the finite from the infinite.}} [http://www.iep.utm.edu/infinite/]
