Amazing Grace

 I have always liked the fact that (in addition to being very touching) this hymn contains a clear and simple description of what it means to be an infinite set (in this case an infinite set of days):

“When we've been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing his praise, than when we'd first begun.”

    Since Science and Religion both entertain the concept of infinity I propose the following questions. Do they both believe in the same “infinity”? And if so does that provide a bridge between Science and Religion (See Blog post of July 23)?

    "When I mention religion, I mean the Christian religion; and not only the Christian religion, but the Protestant religion; and not only the Protestant religion, but the Church of England."

    Tom, what do you mean when you mention religion?
