for all we know, the force that caused the big bang is an infinite force that has always, and always will, forever make new universes.
the specifics are too foggy to be certain

My point was that it can't be called infinite but constantly expand because there is nowhere to expand to! Do you understand that? Think of my water glass analogy. The word "infinite" even sounds like an oxymoron. How can a thing be called a thing if it is incomplete? If the Universe is finite as you say, then what is its end? Where is it going - what is its plan? Perfection created by a higher being or destruction of our world? We are so geocentric even today - that we measure everything else by the measure of man. We are finite, so God MUUUUST be infinite.
"only becuase we dont know whats past/before the big bang" That was also my point - that explanations of things seem right until we step back and see a larger picture. So to you, someone who has no dealing with astronomy, it LOOKS infinite from your position.
