Ok, yes, we understand that those 2 words have opposite meanings. Yes, it's a fact that they are different concepts. That doesn't make one more plausible than another when talking about a theoretical void,
nor does it mean that finite things can't exist within something that is infinite.
Maybe nothing is infinite, it's all just humongous (or we are just very small).

Finite Things must exist within a void of Space that is infinite. All finite Things occupy its own volume of Space no matter how small or large they are,... finite occupy Space.

I think i understant what you are thinking. But it dosent matter how small we are: finite can not be (infinite large) or (infinite small). All Finites have specific finite Properties and non of them are infinite. As i mentioned before (all finites occupy its own portion of Space).
The concept you peobably are thinking of is from a observers position in timespace compared to what the observer is observing. Within Our universe this line of though wont work because all of Our observable universe and everything it is made up of are finites. And Our position as observers are also within Our finite observable universe, we observe from Our location and outwards. We observe from Our location within Our universe only 13.799 billion years outwards. So therefor infinite becomes a issue.

Yeah but he is refering to a non religious person as "you people" so if he can't say what he means by that he should not use the phrase.
The problem with "infinite" is it is really an abstract. Creationist is a descriptor. I've admitted here before, that a deity creating everything is a possibility. Its not the ONLY one.
This thread is not about the infinite.

The infinite can’t be measured by its very nature and neither can the finite be boundless. So whatever was the cause of the Big Bang or multiverse/multigods is infinite. It can’t be otherwise.

There is only one way finite can exist and that is if the infinite void formes it. There are no other ways or options.
Only one void of Space can be infinite and take up all Space there is. There can not be any other voids that are infinite....there is only one. It is common sense. How can there be more then one void of Space that is infinite and that takes up all Space there is? How do you add that up?
WMAP image. Do you know what is very obious With this image... ? What do you notice about this image that shows you that this is not observed from within Our universe? Does it not look like the image is depicting how Our universe looks like from a distance..... like it was observed from outside Our universe?
You are thinking only in 3 dimensions (3 dimensions of space).
What if our universe were a finite 3-dimensional piece of space contained within something that is multi-dimensional?
Being built from different dimensions, the definition of infinite may not have the same meaning within that region as it does in our 3-dimensional universe. the idea of size (as we understand the concept) might be meaningless in that multidimensional/different dimensional place. Even the word "place" might have no meaning there.
Again, that's pure speculation.
Please explain precisely how something finite REQUIRES something infinite?
If something is infinite, it literally can't take up all space there is. It never begins or ends, so there is no "all" space that exists.

I don't follow. Something could be eternal without being infinite in size. Time only exists in our big bang bubble, so IF anything exists outside of it, it would be considered eternal by our standard of time, but not necessarily infinite.

You made a mistake right there. Claiming "that we have no facts" thus it is "based on logical reasoning". One needs a point of reference (a fact) for such things to apply to anything physical. Your point of reference is what again?
You are arguing against science,
No where have I said "I believe in the multiversial theory". What I have said is you can't discount it.
