e.g. the big bang came from a sigularity and a god gives life and death to everything apparently, but as everyone knows you need energy to do this. So where did a god or a big bang get the energy to do this, if things are not infinite.

Its near impossible for the human brain to comprehend infinity. Its not really our fault, we just cant imagine things beyond our perception of "reality". I accept infinity, I just cant envision it.

It is not at all clear that everything is infinite.
Space does not appear to be infinite--in fact at one point in time, it was extremely small. Time does not appear to be infinite--or at the very least, it looks like there is a time before which we can't probe. I personally don't think we are going to get an answer for what the initial source was of all the energy. Whether or not space and time or infinite on the other end (the future) is still an open question. The answer is certainly not clear.

Your logic is not quite clear to me.
What is true is the following:
Everything which has a beginning has a cause.
The universe has a beginning.
Therefore the universe has a cause.
It does not follow that the universe is infinite. In fact it is finite, and it had a beginning. If it was infinitely old then according to laws of thermodynamics there would be no useful energy to do work, since entropy increases over time.
It does not follow that God has a cause - since he has no beginning. Since he created time it is meaningless to ask who created God, or what was before time>

You have to ask yourself "if people weren't around to experience time, WOULD there be time at all"? My point is that you are, at this moment, in this particular piece of time, and nowhen else. We, as humans, live in a universe where things are created, and things are destroyed. Beyond that, we are incapable of understanding what it would be like, and that's why people always have to have a beginning and an end to everything - because it's impossible to comprehend anything else.

You don't need energy, you need creative math to get the universe out of a singularity. Some theories say there is only one particle bouncing around really fast everywhere at once.

I wish I had an infinite cup of tea and fish n chips. I'd go and feed the world with it. I'm afraid things do come to an end. Food for instance changes into some thing else, but I can assure you its no longer food for human consumption.

We search for a beginning and an end because we are born, and then we die. So do other animals and plants. So do planets, moons, stars and galaxies. Even ideas are born, and then die. So maybe religion is a search for something that is infinite in our finite perception.

There is NEARLY always a 'beginning and and end' to a relationship. Always with a life. Always with 'bonking'. Always with a career. Always with intelligence. Always with power.
What is infinate is chaos!.

You cannot create or destroy energy only change it's form.

You will understand when you stare into the sun. WHen it burns your retina to cinders, you will see the darkness of the universe.
