Science does not suppose a finite or infinite universe, but rather an observable universe of finite size plus an unobservable universe which may or may not be finite in size. Science is a lot more comfortable and accepting of uncertainty and unknowns that you give it credit for here.

This is a reasonable, and i don't accuse all of Science. I am just very suspicious of the certainty with which astrophysics has pursued proof of a big bang for most of a century. There are number of glaring assumptions, many of which point back to an unreasonable level of faith in the Standard Model.
Also, the infinty that i think scares people the most is temporal, not spatial.
