Dedekind-infinite set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a set A is Dedekind-infinite if some proper subset B of A is equinumerous to A . Explicitly, this means that there is a bijective function from A onto some proper subset B...

Abstract: This paper examines the Kalam Cosmological Argument, as expounded by William Lane Craig, insofar as it pertains to the premise that it is metaphysically impossible for an infinite set of real entities to exist.

So can somebody clarify this for me: A set S is denumerable if S and N (natural numbers) are equinumerous. That is, their is a BIJECTIVE function f: N---->S; The text book says N is INFINITE. So if N is infite, that means that S HAS TO BE INFINTE if S is denumerable?
