Philosophical Q&A: Why is infinite regression of gods illogical but an infinite God is not? — because infinite regression refers to an infinite series of events, not to God's nature.

Mike explains the distinction: an infinite regression of gods means an infinite series of discrete events going backward in time (each god was a man, died, became a god, had a god before him, etc.). Philosophy shows an actually infinite series of events is impossible. But 'infinite God' means God's nature is not finite — his being transcends finitude. These are different kinds of 'infinite.' Mike recommends Hilbert's Hotel as a resource for understanding why infinite regression is philosophically impossible.
