You see, in use of the number "1", there is always a bigger picture. Nothing, from the smallest to the greatest piece of matter, time or space or energy stands alone. It can always be grouped in with something more profound or extensive than itself. Making a collaberative body of one which, in turn, links with others like it or at least relative to it and again soverignty is stripped away. Thus seceding to the enjoinment that again brings it to oneness again and again. This cycle endlessly continues until it reaches the threshold of God. We know that he "is in all and through all" and thus the cycle ends. Knowing "the end from the beginning" he alone can stand without being enjoined to anything or anyone. It is also written, "There is none beside me". Whether speaking of marbles or of planets they can all be grouped together into something more complex than itself because it unites its own complexities with the others it is grouped with. The number 1 stands alone and holds within it, limitless dimensions. In fact, being dimensionless, it is the closest we will ever come in this life to comprehending the transcendant nature of infinity.
As for "0", in our finiteness, we also fall unyieldingly short of discerning what oblivion really is. What the naked eye may see and register as empty, void or vanished, may in fact hold incomparable and unparalled matter, energy or other sorts of particles as such. Secular science holds that "matter can be neither created nor destroyed", claiming that everything came from nothing. Yet we know that negatives lie in the theoretical, and have not been proven to create anything. Even so, they seal their own fate either way. One thing always breaks down into another. It is conjunctive with displacement. It is said that "seeing is believing" but what is seen (or unseen) does not equate to truth necessarily.
We are told to fear "the One who can destroy both body and soul" and as said, so we should. For the infinite One, that is Christ, who created all that was once nothing has the right to make it as void as it once was.
