I'm curious, do you see how the following assertion by you is as much a faith in what you believe regarding the universe? ... My "faith" in what I know is subject to change with new evidence. So, I take it for what it is, a current state of knowledge. If I were an atheist then my faith would be of equal character if not caliber as that of the so-called believers, For atheists believe there is no God as much as believer believe there is. They have unshakable faith (trust) in their belief. No rational being, in my opinion, can be 100% sure in something that has no proof, or even a definition for that matter.
"With each passing a unique creation is erased never to appear again."
Mathematically we may show that with a change in geometry, temporal locations you assume to be gone 'never to appear again' are accessible and as such are 'again'.
Sure, with impossible assumptions everything is possible. The likelihood of it is however less than nil. I can design a perfect optical system than can never be made, which is not worth the paper it was designed on because it has no practical or real value. Likewise, what is probability than a supernova can be reconstituted to its infancy? And if it is, it would still be a new creation, a mere clone of itself.

Good points.
Though I suspect He has more . . . features and aspects up His very big sleeves about all such than we have the faintest clue of.

I would also note for you that when in the presence of Jesus, the disciples had some amazing physics defying experiences, like being in the middle of a lake in a violent storm and suddenly at shore when Jesus arrives to their mid-lake position. And after the resurrection and ascension, Philip had what can best be described as a ‘teleportation’ experience immediately after baptizing the Ethiopian Eunuch. Just to name a couple.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I did not. Maybe you can explain how is your statement, to wit: "However, the full number and types of dimensions (spatial, temporal, etc.) is both unknown and unknowable" not indicative that all that we can know is destined to end in speculation.

Only God knows "all that there is" all at once. We are just observers. And just like a fly doesn't know he is actually rocketing through space at more than 550,000 miles per hour, there are many things we do not know and there are many things that we cannot know and some things we cannot know that we do not or cannot know.
A person pursuing certainty of knowledge via "hyperbolical/metaphysical doubt" might retrace Descartes' steps arriving at his conclusions, cogito ergo sum and God IS, though Descartes of course used different words.
