The Cravings of Infinitude

St. Augustine claimed that our hearts are restless until we find our rest in God.  Others have suggested there is a "God" size hole in the human spirit.

Another preacher has said, "There is a desire in the human heart best described as the craving of infinitude. We are made that nothing which has limits satisfies. Hence the sense of freedom and relief which comes from all that suggests the idea of boundlessness -- the deep sky, the dark night, the endless circle - the illimitable ocean."  "Hence, too, our dissatisfaction with all that is or can be done."

There is an assumption that all humanity has this great hunger for some Spiritual reality.  Do you think that is there is still a "craving of infinitude" in our young people?
