I want an answer.

    Precisely as many angels as there are whole numbers, or exactly as many as the quantity of numbers you can count between 0 and 1 (0.5, 0.2341, etc).

    The original context of the question was more about if angels and the afterlife were physically manifest or intangible, and early thinking about how infintesimals work.

      But there are more numbers between 0 and 1 then there are whole numbers. So are the countable many angles or uncountably many?
