Here's a thought:
According to this theory, someone, somewhere in the universe would have found or made a tool to destroy everything in the universe, and used it (since every possible version of every possible thing exists). Therefore, because the universe (and us) still exists, the universe either

The theory is that a NON-ZERO probability will be repeated in an infinite universe. There is nothing to show that the ability to destroy the universe is a non-zero probability.
I have kicked a soccer ball before, so I know that the action of kicking a soccer ball can happen, therefore somewhere else in the universe someone else must have also kicked a soccer ball if it is infact infinite.
Since we can wager with some certainty that the universe has not been destroyed, we can assume that destroying universe is a ZERO probability event or the universe is finite. We cannot be sure which, but it does not prove the universe is finite.
