I've been occasionally watching this series on TV called "Finding God thru Faith and Reason". I have a hard time following most of it. But he presented the idea that "we now know the Universe is not infinite". I didn't know that was common knowledge.
I also encountered that same belief in Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed. Or at least I think that's what Maimonides is saying. I think he uses the word "transcendent and eternal".
But believeing that the Universe is finite seems to have some strong linkage back to a belief in God. I find that strange because I grew up with a strong Christian upbringing and was taught that the universe is infinite.
Any ideas on this and why a finite universe might provide a better case for there being a God?
