I know that its endless, but how big is endless where is endless end. the earth is in our solar system which is in our galixy which has billions of stars and suns and most of those stars are suns to a few planets there are duel sun solar systems and triple sun solar systems but our galexy is just one of billions so how big is it really, and you can't say that god created it or you can't say that there is not life out there somewhere. what do you think.

If you were able to put aside everything you have been told ,imagined ,felt ,thought, preconceived, remembered and guessed about the universe you would see that it is illogical to say that all this just happened for no reason at all. Something had to be there to start the ball rolling . Why would the beginning of nothing suddenly start the beginning of something .Isn't it easier to comprehend that nothing comes from nothing.So for something to suddenly appear wouldn't it be reasonable that some kind of unknown force or thing decided to create what we call the universe.
This is impossible to put into words because there are no words to describe how and why this has happened.But we have to try because the universe is real and we are part of it .Every one has their own theory and until we understand the whole picture (if we ever do) everyone is right or comfortable with it.
As far as the size of the universe goes we do not know if it has a definable end or goes on to infinity because it is still expanding,I think. Hope this makes a bit of sense to you.

There are various theories as to space's size and shape, but we do know that the visible universe (that we can see) is about 28 billion light years in diameter. IMO the most probably theories describe the universe as having a finite but very very large size (practically infinite). In addition, the universe IS expanding at a ever increasing reate! And there was a begining to the universe, unless you desregard all scientific facts and observations.

It is bigger than infinity squared to infinity. There is no number or words sufficient to describe it's size. There is nothing bigger than the universe. It is made of nothing, but it contains everything known and lots of unknowns. It does not expand or contract. It was NOT made. It had no beginning and will NEVER end. There is no edge, corners, center, 'outside', limits, energy, power, gravity or anything like that about the universe. It is vast nothingness in which floats random and sparse 'pockets' of matter like sun stars, planets, rocks, dispersed gasses, very rarely life forms, and miscellanea. It is truly endless and infinate.

The most eloquent description of how big the universe is comes from Douglas Adams, "The Universe is big. Really big. It may seem like a long way to the corner chemist, but compared to the Universe, that’s peanuts."

The universe is a finite entity so it must have a maximum size.
We may never be able to guess the exact age.
The farthest galaxies do not exist anymore and we don't know how close those in existence are.

It was created so it had a beginning and it has an end. As for it's size, it's plenty big, and the Bible says that God holds it in the palm of His hand. He's a whole lot bigger.

A million centimeters more than the most.
