If you take the isle of Great Britain and measure it's border with a yardstick that is one kilometer long, then you will come up with a certain figure. If you measure it with an actual yardstick, or meterstick if you will, then the second figure will be larger than the first.

The reason, of course, is that the meter-long stick will be able to account for nooks and crannies that the kilometer stick must necessarily bypass in its measurement. This can go on forever by simply implementing a smaller and smaller measuring stick each time you measure GB, and the distance around the island will always increase. Eventually you will lose the ability to effectually measure the distance we are talking about because your ruler will be so small that the effort would take unknown millenia to ostensibly complete.

But it is then and there that you will be begin to comprehend what God sees in people and things. In reality, the distance around GB depends entirely upon your method of travel. If you are traveling by by cruise ship, it should take a couple weeks. If you are traveling by zaps of an electron microscope that register the width and diameter of each speck of sand and dust, you will never even be able to pretend to leave the first meter of sand where you begin your journey for at least a thousand years. The distance is simply far too great at that clip. The same is true for Hawaii and Antelope Island.

When you step beyond electron microscopes, you begin to enter the measuring sticks of God, which are beyond subatomic with an eye towards recognizing the matter that makes up spirit. If the earth has a soul, and Book of Moses indicates this is so, then that soul is infinite beyond merely the Isle of GB. That soul has infinite and eternal potential which will ultimately be realized after the Millenial rule of Christ.

People are like the earth. They are physical matter and spiritual matter. They are whole souls, and the measurement thereof is beyond mass, matter, and energy as we understand it scientifically. So ultimately it hardly matters that there is a finite number of stars or planets that are "numbered" to God. What matters are the souls that live out their mortality, and are therefore in a terrible predicament concerning sin. It is the whole souls that make the universe infinite.

Even if this Universe only consisted of this planet, it would still be infinite. This is essentially what Dr. Dave realizes in 2001: A Space Oddyssey when he descends upon the monolith near the end of the movie. The infinite (ET) that lies beyond the earth is one thing, but in discovering the infinite that still exists between man and machine (AI), Dave realized that his powering down of HAL was more euthanasia than merely flipping a switch. Hence the psychedelic freak-out that ends the film. The realization and choice between these two infinites was simply too much for his mind to bear.

We are infinite, and we are what make this universe infinite. It's not the stars.
