Konsep limit tak hingga dan himpunan tak hingga dengan konsep ketakterbatasan tuhan
Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the concept of infinitude in mathematics, particularly infinite limits and infinite sets, and the boundless nature of God from a theological perspective. The research uses a philosophical approach to analyze these concepts and finds that although mathematics can model infinitude through formal systems, the nature of God surpasses all numerical limitations and human understanding. Infinite limits illustrate the asymptotic approach of human knowledge toward the essence of God: always approaching, yet never fully comprehending it. Meanwhile, the theory of infinite sets provides a metaphorical framework to reflect the vastness and complexity of the divine nature. The integration of these two concepts is not an attempt at reduction, but rather an interdisciplinary dialogue that enriches both science and religion. Research results show that mathematics helps recognize the limitations of human rationality, whereas theology encourages an attitude of intellectual humility in the face of transcendent reality. Thus, this approach opens up opportunities for joint reflection between science and religion without blurring the essence of each (Moore, 2018).
