Use of infinity has advanced many intellectual fields, such as [[mathematics]] through [[calculus]], [[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]] often emphasized the concept of infinity in his [[miracle]]s and [[parable]]s.  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/]

Virtually all intellectuals today accept that infinity exists and is useful, despite the denial by the ancient Greeks.

[[Jesus]] persuasively demonstrated the powerful logic of infinity in multiple [[parable]]s (see below).  The existence of an infinite [[God]] implies the necessary existence of the opposite: the void described in [[Genesis]].  Negative infinity, as implied by the existence of positive infinity, is the numeric equivalent of the [[Hell]] mentioned frequently in the [[New Testament]].
