I mean, Time might be infinite, but it is bounded at least on one side and I suspect it's not bounded on the other.
In any case no one has evidence even for infinite space, for all we know it stops dead a Planck Length beyond the Hubble volume. Though this would require uh...extensive revision...of current models.
As for other dimensions, I'm using the term in the loosest possible sense to mean the substrate the current cosmos came from. It could have come ex Nihlo, of course, but it seems more likely it's part of a greater structure.
Define Universe. Hubble Volume obviously finite. Current inflationary cosmos likely infinite in space but not in other dimensions. Entire substrate the cosmos comes from likely infinite along many more dimensions.
Not so stainless then huh?
Lot of Kerbal space program 2. Much better now as a game if still not as good as ksp1, but the story missions add alot.
I'm somewhat critical of Juche as I've mentioned elsewhere. But one solid thing about even flawed Socialist States is that they are in fact capable of doing good things, which was only ever true about capitalist states when the SU was threatening them with revolution.
A good chunk of the writing is by Kirkbride's circle of "Monkey Truth" devotees, so its damn good.
It's hip to be a square.
Most unnecessary, Indiana Jones 4. Last Crusade was a perfect ending. Worst...I submit Grease 2 for your consideration. Not only is it a terrible movie, it is arguably worse than Starlight Express as a musical.

Paul converted Gentiles, the Johannine school was likely mixed, and the First Council of Jerusalem was largely about the independence of Paul and the lack of a need for Gentiles to follow Jewish Law. By 150 the vast majority of Christians were non-Jewish in ancestry. Many of the 1st/2nd century Church Fathers, like Irenaeus, Clement I, and likely others were non-Jewish. You also had non-Jews worshipping the Abrahamic god for at least the 1st century BCE
You can generally break down the early branches of Christianity into three cross pollinating branches
Jewish Christians - Lead by the moderate Peter and the more strictly Jewish James. Largely died out or was subsumed by other branches.
Pauline Gentile Christians - What became the main branch of Christianity in organisation.
Mystic Christianity - This includes both the Proto-Gnostics and the Johannines. Highly mixed in with other mystic/apocalyptic Jewish and Middle Platonic sects, and largely comprised of fairly educated Hellenistic Jews and Gentiles.
Their relative education and theological hot-housing meant that the Johannine school ended up cross-pollinating with the Pauline school and almost co-opting their theology (the Johannine Irenaus and composite theology of Justin Martyr shooting down the "hyper-pauline" heresies of Valentius and Marcion.)
