I think most scientist and mathematicians would agree with you that the universe is not of infinite time.
There is also scientific evidence of why the universe can't be expanding and contracting over and over again from infinite time.
Scientists are basically agreeing based on knowledge, that the universe is not of infinite past.
However, the way some people perceive it, is that there is no time before time zero. And when you can get to time zero, the state was such that it was in motion (energized, ready to go).
It's just that it's meaningless to ask what is before time zero, because there is no time before time zero.
Therefore, most scientists, who propose a naturalistic start to the universe, don't state the universe is infinite.
Just thought I would let you know. There is little controversy over the universe being of finite time.
