Physicists do not reject "actual infinities".
A couple of things. The multiverse hypothesis does not avoid a beginning. The multiverse is inflationary and must have a boundary at some time in the past.
Don't confuse actual infinity with potential infinity. You can always add 1 more and you never get to infinity.
This is NOT the viewpoint of modern physicists and/or cosmologists who hold to actual infinities being a physical possibility. Both Craig and you are wrong on this point. You can listen to Sean Carroll discuss actual infinities, both in space and in time, right here:
