In addition, recognition of infinity — such as infinite time or infinite strength — is helpful on a personal level in dealing with adversity.  Infinite time means infinite money, since time is convertible into money.  [[Jesus]] often emphasized the concept of infinity in his [[miracle]]s and [[parable]]s (see below).  He rejected the mistaken view of the ancient Greeks that infinity is non-existent and incoherent.<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/]

The ancient Greeks were flat-out wrong.</ref>  Today acceptance of infinity is universal, despite the adamant denial by the ancient Greeks and others throughout history.  The devoutly [[Christian]] mathematician [[Georg Cantor]] even proved that some infinities are larger than others.
