"In pure mathematics infinity has no measureable fractions and recording its duration is pointless. We are present so that the future can become the past. The Universe is inside something really big, but we don't have to worry about that."
Yours Truly.
Re a defense of Calvin the man and his teachings, you might want to take a look at The Death of Adam by the ineffable Marilynne Robinson, not to mention her two novels involving Congregationalist-inflected characters, Gilead and Home, the latter, to me, a supreme example of novelistic brilliance.
