The Great Big Arguments #9: Infinity

Basic form of the argument: For all we know, the universe is infinite. There might even be infinite universes.

The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled

Question from Jared: First of all I want to apologize if this has been asked before. Unless it’s just my browser, there doesn’t seem to be a search function at the top right of the page as mentioned.
