On the Infinity and finity of human imagination

I had heard and read quite a lot of things which discussed the infiniteness of human imagination. Indeed human imagination can conjure the most bizzare things ; my imagination as a child was the none the less I remmeber developing an idea of a future Autotrophic human with green hair {with the chlorophyll} ......an eight year old's solution to food crisis of the world ! as a child I was compelled to believe after reading abt fairies , alice in wonderland and other inventions of human imagination coupled with the satisfaction that I cud imagine whatever I like and want ........Human imagination was the only thing that could compete with universe for the title of being infinite . It seems so very obvious to even an adult that imagination is limitless ........
space travel , electricity , computers all are a product of that fantastic thing called imagination
thats what has brought us ... from a eat sleep drink reproduce caveman to what we are today !
But yes , is this infinte ? I must agree that for every practical purpose this is the infinity .
Leaving the practicality back lets take a little theoratical approach . thats what I did to kinda
a come to the conclusion currently that human imagination is not quite infinte. that brings us to the question whats n how much is infinite. An age old maths tells me If I have 2 sets
Set A = { 1, 2 , 3, 4 .......} Set B = { 1 , 4 , 9, 16 ..........} . both the sets are infinte even though set B doesnt have all the elements in Set A . I believe human imagination is infinite .....buts its infiniteness is like Set B not like Set A.The reason why I say this is quite simple .Human imagination has one huge weak point like all other systems of human origination have.That weakness comes from the fact that human perception is very limited . Humans cant percieve anything beyond the 5 sense organs . precisely We cant percieve anything that we cant touch , smell, see, hear and taste. and even if we do percieve something which we often refer to as 6th sense ......it needs a interpretation which is again bounded 5 sense of organs. I guess its the technical implication of situation....where We cant express ourselves in words . In this case its the weakness of the language that theres no word invented to express the current feelings similarly in my argument .....theres no perception and sensation of certain phenomenas which do happen in universe .
Science says still theres no proof of life in outer space ......I say we can have life verymuch
on this planet earth itself which we dont know off particularly because we arent able to percieve their existance. its like a situation where a Very intelligent man who has just reached a certain very importrant breakthrough in a problem facing human beings for decades , wants to tell others abt it but he is deaf and dumb , doesnt have hands and legs.
how the hell can we percieve if he wanted to tell . the whole problem with imagination is thats its based entirely on human perception which is why its so very limited , yet following properties of Set B it is infinite in the domain of perception !
Offcourse we cant ignore the fact that the concept of infinity has come from this infite imagination of ours. So is it case of concept outgrowing the creator , I guess yes .but still salute to our imagination cause it could develop a concept whose implication are indeed infinite, infinite like Set A. Indeed there are more concepts which are product of our imagination like a point which is dimension less ......so what is it ? we dont know . Also concept of zero. huge implication
But ,
I would like to conclude here due to lack of time saying I have imagined all this !

God

Hello evryone ! This is my first blog and I m starting with a topic ........ well which I guess generally the old people discuss when they have all the time in the world and no things to do .
This article has my views about God -as a concept necessity and reality. Mind you I m a teenager and my view might be contradictory to your views. I would be refering to God by the pronoun He .Though I know refering to God as He she it or they all are equally absurd !

Starting with God as a concept. The concept of God is certain mystical superpower who is beyond individual's sphere of perception and influence .Its that power which is supposedly
responsible for creation of everything , organisation of everything and destruction of everything. Here we must be careful not to limit the word everything only to our earth which we cynically yet naturally tend to !Now we must axiomatically assume if above is th case God is infinite at least in our frame of refrence !
well and we are humans more importantly finite ! Our perception is limited to smell touch hearing seeing and tasting .nothing else is percievable for us . So first of all we must treat God as a concept because God cant be percieved by any of these ......... Just as in mathematics .infinity is a concept . you just cant compute its value using traditional finite nos. and quantities ! So any attempt to describe this God is indeed nothing more than futile ! If that is so ....you may be thinking why am I wasting my time blogging for futility and you are wasting your time reading in futility !
Well I m not here to describe God ........but to discuss God from various point of views which are indeed finite ! All said and done about God being infinite and blah blah blah ......We still do pray to him .when you need something to happen of which the probability of happening , your senses tell you is very less ! We need GOd when we feel things are not in our hands ....some atheist person may disagree here . But well thats true then for all arument that it has a for view and against view !
This desperation of our brings us to another important point of necessity of God as a concept !
when things dont fall into place , when doing everything rite you dont get what u want ..............thats when you kinda surrender to God hoping for a miracle.
Without this concept of GOd .....most of the people around the world would be
a bundle of emotional mess . The concept of God on which their hopes rest
is indeed a ray of light for people who are other wise lost in the dark !
All the religions around the world {more or less} have the concept of heaven and hell . I say ??? heaven and hell ? hello Do you know what is death ? or what is life that your are hypothesizing what would happen to a person after he would die !
Illogical from logic point of view . But the concept is immensly popular thruout the world .... people in their lives end up doing hell lot things to end up in heaven {hell lot for heaven ?! huh }! well the roots of that goes in our bringing up. Most of us
are scared into disclipline as children by our parents and guardian ....but what about the adults. Who disciplines them ...I guess thats why the religions brought the concept of heaven and hell ..... to scare into discipline the adults who stray away from their paths . Well and the concept is brought up so well that .it seems very logical when thot upon! And the heaven as it is described always is So wonderful excellent beautiful that ....people wud think twice about missing a berth in it ! I say quite cool religion guys ! you have managed what otherwise was kinda impossible task !
So finally what is GOD ? how is he important for us ? The real GOD .Frankly i dont know. nor do I need to know . but how is he important to us ? ...yes that I guess I can answer .As a concept God is an extremely important social improvement and regulation tool . Its the reason why people still trudge on with their difficult lives with a hope of better future. He is the ultimate hook or foundation for people to lay their faiths beliefs and hopes on. whoever first
brought the concept of GOD was truly a genius.{ if it was brought by real GOD !!!}.
All said and done this world continues to function without actually no one knowing what GOD is or anything related to him . But yes I still Do believe
GOd U do exist and have created nothing but a fantastic self sustaining utopia on this tiny earth !
