While I am inclined to agree that the universe is finite, I must point out that this has not been settled yet.

It won't be settled until we develop a means of making a "straight" line long enough to go into space in on direction and be seen in another part of space going in another direction. This, however, is an experiment that will never take place due to the obvious impossibility of drawing a line that traverses the universe.
