Explain Once And For All How Infinite Time Is Possible

I really want someone to explain this because if it is possible I would like to know. Please prove to me how.

I want to know how it's possible to reach an event in an infinite timeline, if the event to be reached takes an infinite amount of time to reach. If time is represented by a line, you can't start somewhere along the line, because that would mean there is time before that point.

Please explain.

You cannot reach an event that takes an infinite amount of time - yanniru - July 7, 2001 - 12:09 UTC
- It still takes infinite - highvoltage - July 7, 2001 - 18:01 UTC
  - Also - highvoltage - July 7, 2001 - 22:12 UTC
    - I like that - stormcrow - July 8, 2001 - 02:13 UTC
      - It does not matter what we say - yanniru - July 8, 2001 - 20:13 UTC
        
        Then explain it - stormcrow - July 8, 2001 - 23:20 UTC
        
        It just happened - yanniru - July 9, 2001 - 13:14 UTC
        
        Then I'm sorry - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 16:39 UTC
        
        Highvoltage, there is NO logic in your words. - alexander - July 9, 2001 - 18:03 UTC
        
        You are WRONG! - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 19:05 UTC
        
        Incorrect understanding of INFINITY. - alexander - July 9, 2001 - 19:18 UTC
        
        Yes, finite time between events, that's it! - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 20:04 UTC
        
        So what? - alexander - July 9, 2001 - 20:28 UTC
        
        A finite point is not actually finite on an infinite timeline - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 22:26 UTC
        
        It just starts at a reference point - yanniru - July 9, 2001 - 23:37 UTC
        
        I see what your saying but there's a problem - highvoltage - July 10, 2001 - 16:40 UTC
        
        Time is reversible in math - yanniru - July 10, 2001 - 16:52 UTC
        
        This is not a logic, this is LACK of logic. - alexander - July 10, 2001 - 17:11 UTC
        
        Nope alex - highvoltage - July 11, 2001 - 04:37 UTC
        
        You rely too much on math - highvoltage - July 11, 2001 - 04:41 UTC
        
        Pointless - yanniru - July 11, 2001 - 12:05 UTC
        
        Mike, what is you math background? - alexander - July 11, 2001 - 16:22 UTC
        
        Part of post was missing. - alexander - July 11, 2001 - 18:16 UTC

        Quick question, Mike - stormcrow - July 9, 2001 - 19:20 UTC
        
        I'm not saying that - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 20:11 UTC
        
        OK= the proof - yanniru - July 9, 2001 - 23:39 UTC
        
        Not ill defined, but undefined. - alexander - July 10, 2001 - 17:15 UTC
        
        Yes please explain - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 05:18 UTC
        
        No proof availabe - yanniru - July 9, 2001 - 13:18 UTC
        
        Then someone else please explain - highvoltage - July 9, 2001 - 16:47 UTC
        
        Highvoltage, there is NO logic in your words. - alexander - July 9, 2001 - 18:11 UTC
