So God already existed before the beginning of time?
For how long?

Also your fuel is running out, and in time the last log burns out leaving the room to cool down. Then Lee starts to open all the windows just to put the boot in and you all freeze to death.

If the universe expands the hydrogen that makes stars will be smeared out over further distances making nebula less and less frequent. Nebula are star nurseries so we will run out of stars and lose our heat sources as the universe gets bigger and bigger. So in the very very far future the universe will be very large but also very cold.
Yes, the cold death, but what is outside the universe? Beyond the border.
