52. If the universe is infinite...e.g., infinite time and infinite space then
you will exist again somewhere in time and in some place (and even eventually in a world EXACTLY like this one where you do exactly the same thing again.

Infinity is a nearly impossible (maybe indeed impossible) concept to put your humble brain around but infinity essentially leads to the absolutely inescapable conclusion that there will be an infinity of everything. Thus although your consciousness will most likely cease to exist (it is truly amazing how few believe in life after death the further up the educational ladder one goes)it is also assured, assuming an infinite universe, that you will exist again somewhere and be conscious.

Scientists have been desiring to turn the universe into an infinite place because it allows them to extinguish the mythological patriarchal gods (although I don't think they publicly acknowledge or perhaps not even consciously realize this (it is total bullshit to pretend that science has not infringed upon and been swallowing alive the mythological world-space for some time--and will undoubtedly continue to do so)). Infinity of the universe extinguishes the need for a creator while still giving hope for something much better some other time/place.
