The existence of infinity tends to prove the existence of [[God]].  Nature and the universe reflect mathematical truths, and denying the existence of God implicitly denies the existence of infinity, contrary to logic, evidence, and the enormous usefulness of the concept.

The food supply is essentially infinite in cultures where obesity is a problem; wealth is essentially infinite for those who cannot spend it all in their lifetime; and time is infinite for those who waste it.  "More" in those situations is meaningless; less is nothing to have anxiety about.  Some scoff at primitive cultures that use infinity rather than large numbers, but that is productive in viewing quantities larger than meaningful.  Also, infinity reinforces the primacy of the future (which is infinite) over the past (merely finite).  Given that "time is money," "infinite time" ([[eternal life]]) is "infinite money" and the concept helps deal with financial anxiety.
