that doesn't make any sense.

"Human beings are finite beings, meaning, our physical bodies will eventually die. Also, as finite beings, we are incapable of the infinite, yet we can be certain the infinite exists by observing a melting a piece of wax. We can grasp the concept of the infinite, but we are incapable of it's excecution. If you feel otherwise, please state how as human beings, we can excecute the infinite. Descartes concludes that God is a supreme being capable of the infinite"

How can he jump from the conclusion that because we cannot "execute the infinite", that there is something that can? That isn't logic.
