I'd just like to point out a serious flaw that often crops up from those not intimate with the ins and outs of mathematics. Infinity is NOT a number, it is a concept. You can NOT treat infinity as a number. While it IS true that you could flip a coin any number of finite times and only get tails, it is NOT true that you can flip a coin an infinite number of times and always get tails. Statistics says that with an infinite number of trials, all possibilities must occur, otherwise it is not a possibility.
