Big bang means that there was a starting point, so we know that it has a finite age. It's probably curved, so effectively infinite in that there are no edges, but if you travelled long enough in one direction you would end up back in the place you started from.

I used to read loads of theoretical physics stuff when I was a kid. I still keep up with it on the pop scientific tip.
