Yeah, the idea that the energy in a system can only wind down. But if we don't have the big picture of where all the energy and matter is or how it interacts across distances .. then it really isn't much a of an objection.
Infinity doesn't bother me and is managed quite well by human reasoning I think. Besides aren't you saddled with it, with or without magic genies?
I believe the periodic table owes its complexity to the underlying structure of matter. If the underlying substrate isn't chaotic it is reasonable to expect patterns based on that regularity. It is a beautiful thing. It just isn't in need of a watch maker
