Stop beating around the bush and answer my question.
How do you conclude a universe that is expanding all the time cannot have a finite dimension.

The part of the universe that has expanded can and does have a dimension, but it's expanding so this dimension is continually changing. Lets take the analogy, that cosmologists are so fond of, a balloon. As the balloon expands it does so into nothing, but nothing is already part of the whole to allow it to be expanded into. So the conclusion must be that the emptiness it's expanding into is part of the universe.
