wow, haven't read up on these forums for a while, alrite, have a couple things to say first, in responses to cookie's essay

Also, another thing. Many people say that space itself contains nothing. Well that has been proven to be wrong. "Nothing" does contain something; there is something called "black matter", which is the opposite of matter. Again something we can't comprehend, but it does exist. So even if all the matter was contracted again (big bang-loop-theory), space would still exist and would be "filled" with black matter (or sometimes called anti-matter)...
i read in pop-sci and in many other places that anti-matter is rare and was mostly destroyed in the big bang (many scientists think that antimatter may have been a catalyst for the bang). perhaps you are refering to the mysterious "dark matter" that plagues the minds of scientist along with "dark energy". note that anitmatter and dark matter are complety different things. perhaps this is all beyond our comprehention, which leads me to the other comment in regard to

Well, i think human minds can't think that further......is like wondering how god was made!
No offencer everyone,...
But wondering outside of the square is why we have a life as wonderful as it is today... imagine if nobody thought of using a round device to ease carrying loads now known as the wheel. Imagine a world with no computers, no internet and golly gosh no MP!3
I said ...Cant think that further
meaning that our minds can only think to a certain extent..got it?
i figure, at some point we have to seperate religion and science within this thread. the limit to which a human mind can think is distince between science and religion. science does not allow for the existence of god and god doesn't allow for the existence of science. basically, if all scientist believed in god, science would fail to exists becasue the answer to every question or every hypothesis would be "God wanted it that way" or "God made it that way". And god (a omnipotenet one at least) would deny the explinations of science because they say that He in fact is not responsible for everything. This original of question would then have to be classified as a scientific question, though you can use religion to explain that "we cannot comprehend it", that doens't really answer the question, so hence, i suggest you try using science, and as science dictates, space is finite, HUGE, but finite in the end since science believes in the big bang. however, if you can provide an alternate theory, it may possibly allow for an infinite universe (using string theory as an example, it allows for up to 11 dimensions which could possible allow for an infinite universe within the other dimensions). so it really depends, as for now, we really don't know, everyone has seperate beliefs, but as far as the traditionalist scientist within me is concerned, space, at one point or another, is finite
