Between Times

Fair enough. But do you understand how the universe is both finite and infinite at the same time

Let's save some for later. First, let's make a distinction between
infinity and eternity. Infinity is unbounded quantity or endless
extension in a spatial sense while eternity can be thought of as endless
extension in a temporal sense. Eternity could also be thought of as a
state absent time.
The Universe is spatially finite. We know it's expanding, so it can't be
infinite, but it's encapsulated by eternity which has no temporal
constraints. This model implies an endless chain of universes as opposed
to any multiverse theories, but there's a bit more to it than that.
I'll save the "fate vs freewill" for later.
