If space was at one time a singularity, it must now be finite. I guess.

Keep in mind that just because we cannot find an edge does not indicate that something is infinite, therefore any declarations of space being infinite in size are only speculation. With space "stretching" it is quite possible that if there is an edge it would be impossible to observe or reach because space is being created faster than the speed of light.
Then again, the current workings of the universe may not conform to current logic and we need to reorder our ways of thinking to understand it.
