I think Yaak hit it - its just too difficult for humans to comprehend "infinite"...the fact that there is even conjecture about "time" and "what is the universe expanding into" proves that.

Infinite is just that - infinite. There are no bounds -"this"/"that", "here"/"there", "now"/"then" (time) have no meaning in an infinite system, there are no reference points other than what we assign for our own feeble understanding.

Last time I checked, most organized religions assigned their "God" figure the same properties -omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, etc. Why so much faith in these properties and such difficulty in perceiving the infinite universe?

Hence my own view that we are merely a means for "all that there is" or "God" to perceive itself...without us there would be no reference point or consiousness of what "is" and what "is not".
