The mathematician begins his presentation by claiming that there are infinite numbers and infinite sets:

    " A set is infinite if and only if for every natural number the set has a subset whose
       cardinality is that natural number." [1]

    The problem with infinity is simple. The mathematicians have somehow morphed 'incessant counting' into
    'infinite numbers.' Then they converted 'infinite numbers' into the noun 'infinity.' The problem is similar to
    rectilinear being converted into straight, or continuous being converted into continuum. Mathematics has
    no use for nouns or adjectives. Mathematics is exclusively a language of adverbs. Mathematicians only
    study motion. Infinity means that you count incessantly. Counting incessantly, like not counting at all, does
    not qualify as a number. Therefore, whenever a mathematician uses the word infinite (or infinity), he is
    talking religion and not science. The famous 'infinite set' means that the number of elements in it is so great
    that we would count them incessantly.

    In Science, there is no such notion as infinity. Even the number of atoms in the Universe is finite. This is
    easy to 'prove.' Space does not have borders because it is not a physical object. In fact, that is the scientific
    definition of space: no shape. This is the only manner in which we can use the words object and space
    consistently (i.e., scientifically). Physical objects cannot spontaneously lose length, width, and height and
    suddenly become nothing (i.e., space). Likewise, the mathematician would run into serious problems trying
    to convince the audience that there is a physical process by which space suddenly acquires length, width,
    and height and becomes something (i.e., a shape). Therefore, space has no borders and an atom can float
    freely within space, but it can neither convert to space nor cross that which has no boundary. Not even God
    can cross that which has no borders!

    We're done! We must conclude that the amount of matter in the Universe is constant. It never had a moment
    of creation and will never have an end. Father Universe does not know how to convert objects into space
    and space into objects.

    In the real world, in the Universe out there, everything is countable if we only had enough time. Matter does
    not convert into space or leave the Universe to go to heaven. Conversely, space does not surreptitiously
    acquire three dimensions locally and convert to matter. The idiots working at accelerators around the world
    may claim that they have an equation or an experiment to back their claims that they produced matter from
    an absolute void (i.e., no mass). The trick is not to describe what they think they witnessed. The trick is to
    explain it. That's what Science is about. Explaining! Anyone can describe without understanding.

    Only the stupid idiots of Mathematics use the word infinity. There is no context in which to use the words
    infinite or infinity in Science. For the purposes of Science, the term 'infinite object' is a logical contradiction,
    and the term 'infinite counting' is irrational. The correct term is 'incessant counting.'
Gentlemen! Because of your
misconduct at the fraternity last
night, you must count the beads on
this rosary, not once, but until you
find the last one!
Jesus! Not another of
his infinite iterations!
I kept telling
them. Keep it
low guys! But
they didn't
listen!
