An infinite universe, to me, causes more problems than it solves. The problem with infinity is that is has a corrosive quality of making everything functionally pea soup. Imagine two images superimposed, and now imagine a million images superimposed and that is what you get in an infinite universe - infinite times over!
The universe is finite because things that exist must be discrete - i. e. finite. This means that either God must not exist or must not be infinite, unless their is another state beyond absolute finiteness and absolute non-existence. Quantum physics describes something called potential particles that affect the universe EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST.
Particles effect each other forwards and backwards in time. The Big Bang as the theory states, was caused to bang by conditions that existed shortly AFTER the bang triggering its INITIAL state. It was its own parent, so to speak.
The universe that was to be effected the Big Bang and vice versa.
The finite universe is driven by potential, whether on the level of quantum physics or at higher energy states by the multiverse. The multiverse is like that superimposed photo metaphor except the superimpositions are implied (i. e. potential) and affecting but not bleeding out the limited universe that IS. Potential drives everything and is the divine engine that runs the universe. I call it/him/her/them God.
If you want goofy pseudo-theories about how human behavior comes from magnetism, read Alex Chiu's Neo-Darwinism: http://www.alexchiu.com/cell/frame.htm
I personally think that love and hate and joy and fear are expressions of the infinite quality that is consciousness. Consciousness is a sort of touchstone between us and potential. It is the way in which we are made in God's image.
