"If there really are an infinite number of natural numbers then some of them must be of a transfinite number of digits or else you would be including numbers in the list more than once."
Theorem: There are no infinite natural numbers.
Proof: By Induction:
Induction Start: 0 is finite.
Induction Step: If n is finite then n+1 is finite.
The principle of induction then tells us: All natural numbers are finite.
If all natural numbers are finite, then there are no infinite natural numbers.

End of proof.
