PRES ENTATION: Infinity plus God - is this a con- burner for now. Kathy
cept that you have a hard time defining? How do you
describe infinity? Following is a definition of infin-
ity: n. 1. The largest value that can be represented in a
particular type of variable (register, memory location,
data type, whatever). 2. ‘minus infinity’: The smallest
such value, not necessarily or even usually the simple
negation of plus infinity. In N-bit twos-complement
arithmetic, infinity is 2^(N-1) - 1 but minus infinity
is - (2^(N-1)), not -(2^(N-1) - 1). Note also that this is
different from “time T equals minus infinity,” which
is closer to a mathematician’s usage of infinity. How
can we use this definition to understand God as an
example of infinity? Join us when Dick Bachman
explains this concept. His presentation will be based
on a book 1,2,3 Infinity. July date to be announced.
