Well, just by reading your title it noticed some issues.

Infinite can imply a number of meanings. Infinite is size, infinite it time, infinite in speed.


My thoughts on this;

I find it difficult to comprehend anything existing, even existence itself, if it was not infinite. To suggest it is not infinite, leaves two unknowns before and after its existence. In fact, unknowns is not even a strong enough word.

However, you are referring to the universe. And I am going to assume you are referring to the current state that we observe the universe.

The universe will go through many changes, it always goes through changes. There may be possible states of the universe that you and I would not consider a universe, such as a singularity, or somthing to this kind of effect.

What I can propose is that the source of the universe as we see it today, the deepest, and most fundamental source, is infinite in the sense that it always was, always is, and always will be.

This most pure, deep, fundamental source, I consider should be unchanging. That is because if it, itself goes through changes, then it itself can not -as far as I can determine- be considered as the most fundamental ever lasting region of existence. If the essence of the most fundamental were able to transform, then I suppose we would be left with no fundamental identity, which would cause us to look deeper or conclude nothing lasts forever, and what does exist, is entirely random and chaotic needing no source.

However, it is difficult to imagine anything existing without a source, and respectfully difficult to think of a source requiring no preceeding source.

Because it is difficult to provide proof, I can for the most part only provide my own view. And my own view prefers a fundamental source, and that it be infinite, in how long it lasts, in how far it can reach, expand, or shrink. Infact, one of the only ways to warp our minds around this concept is to exclude these limitation types of ideas like time, and size and scale. Then, replace them with a conceptions of being, now, am, is, and are.
