You are again wrongly interpreting things. There is no question about ZF being true or not. ZF is only one of the many possible theories.
Mathematics is not a science that tries to find truth, it is a science where it is determined what a given set of axioms (i.e. presupposed valid statements) leads to.

ZF does agree, when there is a last FISON. Your problem is that the axiom of infinity states that here is no last FISON of all FISONs. -- dik t. winter, cwi, science park 123, 1098 xg amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/
