Please name a difference that can be proved to exist in mathematics. Same is untrue for naturals and positive finite cardinals. There is not the least difference with respect to mathematics.

That fact already proves that there cannot exist more irrationals than rationals. > > The problem of identity of a real number as part of the > real number system relative to identity within > Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is a pseudo-metrization > problem.
No, it is the clever trick of selling matheological nonsense as ideas of intelligent heads to innocent believers in the existence of intelligent mathematicians.
