As far as anyone knows, space is endless. However, there is not enough evidence to say categorically whether space is finite or not.

Its a hard question. You have to think something before answering it: matter is everything that occupies a volumen in space; therefore, space is everything that contents matter.
And as you know, there should be places out there without matter, because (according to scientific theories) the universe- matter- is expanding.
Also, there will be a point when all matter will start to go to the center once again, so the space will be reduced equally.
So, space cant be infinite because matter is not infinite.

Personally i think space is endless, what else can there be out there? Flat white space or what? But yes I think it is endless.

nope, it has an end. look up Olber's paradox. If space was endless then the entire night's sky should be lit up b/c in every direction there would be a star. Therefore it has to end.

Yes. That doesn't mean it's infinite. It doesn't have boundries, except the surface of black holes, but there's still only so much of it. Weird concept I know.

Probably not. But it is beyond our capability of proving at the present time.

To the earthly human population it is. Remember, everything is relative.
