Abstract: By means of a historical approach, we expound three different ways of perceiving the notion of infinity: mathematically, physically, and theologically. In the book of Genesis we are told of Man's attempt at reaching the skies, at becoming akin to the Gods. In Christian faith, down here is, at once, a place distant and much closer to its divine origin. He cannot be circumscribed. He is like an endless ocean of infinity. Furthermore, we use examples to emphasise how this notion is perceived by children and adolescents in the education system. The inferences at the end of this article underline how important it is for the tutor to understand the fascinating notion of infinity, and to find a useful place for it, inside the structure of the classes that tutor teaches.
