 It seems logical that 
 
 1) an infinity can be proved to exist mathematically, and
 2) we exist in this universe, and
 3) infinity exists in this universe, and
 4) for infinity to be produced at all it must be a product of an infinity, 
    therefore
 5) the universe must be infinite.
 
 Another way of putting it:  
 
 The Universe is restricted in its scope by only those things which it
 contains.  Therefore, for anything that exists in the Universe: it must:
 
 be a product of this Universe and be an attribute of this Universe.
 
 Therefore, the Universe is infinite because an infinity exists within its
 scope.
