Very interesting, you could ask this in the science question and get some well thought out answers opposed to asking it here and getting a flaming sack of crap from people like me.

I posted this on another thread and copied it (it's late and I didn't feel like retyping similar info)
We are limited to and governed by the rules of our space time continuum. This is in reality based on the existence and speed of light.
I saw research a few years ago on something called "Dimension Theory" which discussed how scientists believe that there are other dimensions of existance where time and space as we know it does not exist. The evidence lied on the idea that black holes were a doorway or at least a window into these other realms.
To put it basically the gravitational pull of the extremely dense matter in the center o a black hole (an imploded star) is so great that light is pulled into orbit around it (as if it were a solid - that is wht the circle around it) and light that travels into the center is actually traveling faster than the s[eed of light (that is the black in the middle) the rest mathmatically was based on calculations of what happens at speeds faster than the speed of light.
It does not prove God, but does prove the reality of realms beyond what we understand where a supreme being could exist. Then with the rule of Occom's Razor the idea is actually more appealing than the rediculous odds against chance creating everything.

Cute semantical dance.
However, the universe is the totality of all existence. The universe is the ultimate set, which contains all things.
If you still want to argue it, you could say that the universe is a self-containing set.

I am not sure if there is an outer limit to the universe. But if you want to assume that there is, then I would suggest that God's arms contain (or hold) the universe.

Given that we haven't seen any evidence of anything beyond the universe, there is no empirical evidence to suggest an answer.

The universe (multi-universes if you like) not only includes all that is, it also includes all that is not. Infinity (physical) nor eternity (spiritual) can be contained.

If 'universe' is considered all of space-time, than 'outer-space', or nonspace-time will contain the 'universe'. I will say this is also true for multiple 'universes' or Multiverse(sp?)
