The center of the universe is "I AM"

The center of the universe is from the point being discussed, because there is no beginning and there is no end. Right now I am the center of the universe. But only to me.

There is a reason why you cannot say there is a center of the Universe. Simply because of the relativity theory. It asserts that space-time is all relative to the observer. In other words, to say that there is the center of the universe is to assert that there is something absolute or not-relative to observers. For example, there are some expressions that are often used, but strictly speaking inappropriate: a star is 'really' moving or light 'really' travels at 299792 km/s. Einstein, for instance, used such expressions ONLY in his lectures. He never dared to use those expressions containing 'really,' it because it would defy what relativity theory was about. If you hold relativity theory to be true, you cannot say, "time is really moving" or "light is really travelling at constant speed of light" without observers. (it is a bit of a philosophical problem, which Einstein must have been well aware.)
If what you meant by question was what is IN the center of the galaxy, people these days thing there is a giant blackhole.
If by any chance you meant your question to be understood in a religious sense, depending on your religion, it can be God or Tao or the Supreme Identify...etc.

Sophists claimed man is the center of the universe. Protagoras, the most noted Sophist held, ' man is the measure of all things'.. For the Sophists, man was no longer tied up with the universe and subject to its inevitable laws. Rather, he was thought as free, as able to determine his own fate, to mould the universe, or at least that part which was most important to him, in such that his desires would be satisfied. Plato and Aristotle agreed with this Sophists' idea.

Since wherever you are in the Universe, it can be seen as expanding away from you, then i guess the answer is whereever you are in the Universe, you're at the Center. Remember the Big Bang was an explosion OF SPACE and not an explosion IN SPACE....

The center of this universe we are right now is the sun... but the real center, is the Absolute One Being... the Transcendental One, called by believers "God..."

as the universe is always expanding, IF you traced back the expansion through the ages you would reach a central point...however as this is currently not possible your guess with regards to th center is as good as mine :) good question!
oh and for MR PHILOSOPHY the center is not "our sun", our sun is just the center of our solar system.

As the Universe is infinite in all directions, everywhere and anywhere can be the centre - or nowhere

Thats not true, our whole universe has to revolve around something, scientists can not see anything specific but its belived to be a very very dence, large mass, called - Dark Matter.
It is what our solar systems revolve to.
Good question.
