Since space and time is one thing, if one is infinite, then so is the other. But, since time has a beginning at the big bang, and continues till now ... it's not infinite now ... unless you're assuming it will infinitely continue.

Neither is infinite. Both space and time are finite.
The beginning of time was at the instant of the big bang.
The end of time is going to be at the big crunch.
In a like fashion Space is finite but it is not bounded. Try to travel in a straight line and eventually you will return to where you started.

In order for either one to be infinite one would have to exclude a divine creator. If there is a creator and he deems time or space to be finite than it is so. If there is a God, he trumps all; he is sovereign and everything that science believes to be true is simply an illusion; unless of course he deems these "truths" to be the natural order of things. While he is immutable, he can ordain that which he wishes and can simple change the order of nature. Just because something has always been a certain way doesn't mean it can not change or cease to exist.

Space has bounderies and walls. Those walls are exploding right now and their is a good chance that one day, they will implode. Has for time, time only exists in the Universe when the Universe is in one of it's active periods has it is now. The Universe expands, time starts, Universe shrinks into a singularity, time stops.
Conclusion: Time and the Universe are equally finite. They each stop when the other does.

Einstein prove with his theory of General Reletivity that space and time are one in the same entity. He coined the term Space-Time Continum. Thus both are equally infinte(if you believe that something is more infinite than another, but I get your point if you get mine)

both, there is no way to tell. if you go by the big bang therory then space is only a certain size. time never runs out as far as we know. but if you say infinite space then that means there is no end same with time.
make sense?

There are no degrees of infinite. Infinity is an absolute

Probably time, but I don't know. Space is expanding, but does that affect the rate of the passage of time?

i feel time and space are not flow but coordinates .they are not absolute and are relativistic. it is meaningless to say something is infinite except GOD
