Psalms 147:5: Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
1 John 3:20: “...God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.”
Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me.”
Job 36:26: Look, God is exalted beyond what we can understand. His years are without number.

If it is proven that the universe was not created and always existed, it wouldn't disprove the existence of God or negate any need for God, but I would be willing to re-examine my beliefs if that were so.
Ok if God's understanding is infinite it doesn't mean that God is infinite because, notice how they don't say the same about his strength? Also in Psalm 139:7-10, someone asking the question "where can I flee" does not mean the answer is automatically nowhere. It just shows the person is traumatized by the presence of God.
And in the last verse, eternal does not mean infinite. If his years are with no number it means God has no beginning and no end, but he can be as big as a computer box and still manage to be eternal, with infinite understanding.
