So, in other words, you believe and maintain the thought that the universe is not only ever-expanding, but there is no stopping point where there is no universe, is that right?
Yes, that is what I believe and maintain, in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
(And, of course, you also must maintain that it came about by natural circumstance, somehow but not exactly like evolution, by itself without a superior intelligence designing it, is that also correct about your idea?)
That is probably true, although there is no way of disproving the existence of a superior intelligence that designed the universe.
To review, do I understand your take on this correctly -- namely that the universe has no end to it?
If you mean that there is no boundary to space, then you are correct; that is what I believe. That does not necessarily mean that the universe is infinite in extent; after all there is no boundary to the Earth's surface, but the Earth's surface area is finite. In the same way, the universe could be finite but unbounded. If you are asking whether I believe that the universe will never end and that its future duration is infinite, then I can't answer the question; I don't know enough about cosmology.
