When faith tries to answer a simple question.

This is true *only* for Euclidian space. You have evidence that we live in such a universe? Where's your Nobel prize?

In a universe with even the tiniest bit of curvature, "unbounded yet finite" is very much an option. Observations of our universe indicate that it is *possibly* flat, and definitely very nearly so.

Space isn't expanding *into* anything, as far as we can tell. Where is the center of the universe? There isn't one. Where is the edge? There isn't one. As far as we can tell, there is no point within the universe where gross observation would be any different than it is from our reference frame.

Not currently. I'll also note that science and math aren't the ones pretending to know the answers.
