Yes, I believe the "universeS" are infinite.

For all of existence to only be 13 billion years old would make no sense from a statistical point of view.

What blows me away is how people of faith can question the creation of the universe and life there from, but not the creation of a god.

That maks no sense.

<Either something has the property of Self existence or you must believe in an infinite regress. Turtles all the way down. I see you are a turtle man.>

Or both, or something inbetween I suppose... for instance the human body is "self existent" (one could argue), yet at the same time be argued it is no such thing:

The human body needs far more bacteria cells living in symbiotic relationship inside it that it has, AND needs an entire ecosystem outside of it to support it. {note: "inside" and "outside" are used for simplicity here, it's not clear what is exactly where many times}... so is it (human) "self existent" or not?
