Consider...
Can the universe be justifiably called infinite?
Doubtful.
It may not have a discernable end. but it had a beginning,
and it's component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf life.
Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything,
it's that scientists often make very poor poets.
We're all just a ship of fools, chasing phantoms
heedless of what really underwrites natural law.
