Infinity means "having no boundries or limits" and "having no beginning or end". Mathematically, infinity is unlimited in space and time.
Philosophers and theologians have always said that God is infinite: omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent (all-powerful, all-knowing; everywhere).
Since infinity is everything, everywhere, always, it follows that there can be only ONE infinity. In the entire universe, in all time, there is only 'room' for ONE infinity. Nothing can exist, ever, outside this ONE infinity.
So if somehow our minds could slip beyond finite thoughts, could for a moment glimpse infinity, we would, in that moment, be infinite. We would be the 'one infinity'. We would BE God!
But since infinity is everywhere always, we (and everything around us) is already part of the 'one infinity', is already God!
This is the heresy of pantheism, but as much as theologians try to rebut it - http://www.newadvent.org/summa/100801.htm - they can only play with words. Infinity is infinite. Nothing can escape it. Not even nothing.
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."
-Luke 17: 20-21
