I believe you have the concepts of accuracy and precision confused as being numbers. Numbers only represent quantitatively, and thus their values represent the degree of accuracy or precision (aka, probability and uncertainty). Mathematics is a defined set of rules and thus it is not subject to the need for proof. Your name is Eric by definition, not by measure.

I for one, say that God is beyond infinite or eternal. As for a theory of the "Absolute", it can be shown to be mathematical with a non-axiomatic proof. This same proof can also satisfy the goal of physics. If it happens to satisfy the big questions in philosophy and religion as well, who's to say that it shouldn't?

Anything imaginary or nonexistent is beyond infinity or eternity.
