I would have to say -- NO.
Infinity is a problematic concept in mathematics. For example it was proved that any system that is stong enough to describe the natural numbers will contain a statement that is neither provable nor disprovable.[1]
Thus infinity induces paradoxes. In nature however paradoxes CANNOT exist. Thus everything must be finite.
As for the universe being infinite some physicists disagree(for example: [2])

Concepts like math are not infinite. Concepts are man made abstractions- therefore they have a begining and cannot be infinite.

That is a conundrum. Whilst mathematics suggests that the infinite exists I am not certain that the solution given by mathematics is not merely a flaw in mathematics. Nothing in our experience is infinite, only things in our imagination or as suggested by mathematics are infinite.

I believe that space is infinite, for the same reasons that make math infinite.

i understand an excellent type of those that say that too. this is purely yet another fad that'll die down quickly sufficient. truly, it means "thinking your personality, i'm not taken aback you in ordinary words did that". this is not extremely meant as an insult, yet extra of a shaggy dog tale or a tease to someone....in case you extremely locate it demanding, purely ignore about it even as she says it. She'll develop into bored with affirming it after a lengthy time period.
