Which of course leads to the question - what is beyond the Universe?

According to the standard model, the answer is 'the back of your head'. Or in less humorous terms, if you could travel in any direction away from yourself at greater than the speed of light, you would end up back where you started.

The universe is defined as "everything". Therefore there is no "beyond". The question has no meaning.

Only if the universe is closed. And I believe recent evidence is that it isn't.

Doesn't matter, since I said at a speed greater than that of light, which isn't possible but what the hey.

Read Richard Dawkins "The God Delusion"

With rigour and wit, Richard Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favoured by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong, but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.

OK, but that doesn't answer the day question. "The evening and the morning were the first day". How can you have an evening or a morning without a sun?

because there was an alternative source of light being utilised since day 1

If there is no "beyond" then where does an "open" universe open out into?

only an excellent read for the Biblically and theologically ignorant, and others who will cling onto anything to prop up their denial of God
