The Infinity Of Space

When contemplating space, the question might arise about whether or not it is a finite thing confined within a sharp boundary.  This question actually has an extremely simple answer.  It is not only impossible for space to not exist with or without matter inside of it [1], but it is also impossible for it to be anything short of absolutely infinite.

Space, by nature, must not have any finite boundaries, for the very notion of a line dividing space from non-space is one that cannot be true in reality.  Since space is just a dimensional area where matter could reside, any line dividing space from non-space would ultimately still be merely dividing space from space, because the area beyond the boundary could still hold matter, and thus would still be space.  And thus the line continues being pushed back infinitely--meaning it cannot ever actually exist because there is no point where it is possible for non-space to exist.  It is logically and metaphysically impossible for such a line to exist.

To some Christian apologists, it might seem heinous to attribute a property to space that the Bible seems to describe God as possessing: omnipresence.  Yet there is nothing contrary to Scripture about what I have said.  This is just yet another point overlooked (to my knowledge) by all Christian apologists I have heard of, despite its logical necessity.  This aspect of reality could not be any other way, in the same way that the omnipresence of the laws of logic could not be different than it is.

Space cannot be anything other than without boundary.  It extends onward, infinitely, in all directions from any given reference point, as it must do this by necessity.  Space is limitless, mind-independent, and one of the only things that must exist without exception.  The body that houses my consciousness keeps me trapped at one spatial point at a given time, but space itself extends outward from my position forever, limitless and omnipresent.
