Infinite combinations of matter over an indefinite period of time can explain everything that exists. Shall we call this "science?"

Believe it or not, there are scientific theories based on essentially that idea. Provided an infinite universe, there will be a region of space with the exact same arrangements of matter and energy as we have here. There is a statistical probability for this. A very low probability, but a finite one. But given an infinite universe, that makes that low probability a certainty. That means there are multiple Fester Chugabrew's and doc30's out there.

Given infinity, everything has a probability approaching 1.

Didn't Giordano Bruno get burnt at the stake for this?
