The universe IS huge, even if it isn't truly infinite, it easily exceeds the limits of our imagination. There's a lot of space out there.

Yeah, but it's not infinite. At least, we don't have any solid evidence to either make that claim, nor deny it.
Again, to make another nonsensical claim that can't be proved, why stop at a Universe? Why can't there exist a Multiverse? I mean, quantum physics has shown that matter keeps getting smaller and smaller and astronomy has shown that even galaxies cluster together.
