Is science dogmatic?

If there's a finite amount of elements, and a finite amount of arrangements these elements can be in, AND the universe is indeed infinite, wouldn't that mean if i were to go in a straight line in any direction eventually i would find every single possible thing to exist? Or would i reach a short of infinite "fog", where everything is the same forever?
So if i shot a metaforical bullet across a shoe and said bullet had an infinite speed (to ignore the expansion and all that) and was unstoppable, eventually it would hit an equally infinite amount of perfect copies of said shoe after an incomprehensible or otherwise irrational and random distance.

The universe is teeming with life.
Every civilization, and I mean every civilization, abandons space travel, keeps small communities, and dies with their planet.
The problem is not the technology. The problem is the philosophy. We're philosophically in the age of amoeba. The advanced species understand the struggles of existence and simply maintain a natural balance. They may even begin to devolve.
There's no such thing as advancement for them. they abandoned the hollow pursuit. Every one of them. We have a long way to go.

Hi /sci/ I come to you with a question;
If I have a heat source that is 500c and I have an object interacting with the heat source that is 1kg of Iron. How hot can the piece of iron get? Can it become hotter than 500c? If so, why. If not, why not?
Lets assume for the sake of the question the heat source has 100% efficient heat transfer to the iron and that the iron is not being affected by any other source of heat. I think about this question all the time, I feel like the iron can get hotter than 500c and it confuses me a lot. How could something get hotter than a heat source heating it? Explain it like I have severe mental retardation.

How did trillions of eukaryotes put together a team and form animals?
Yet, the animals became divided against each other and survive by killing each other and eating their bodies?
Why can the eukaryotes get along so much better than animals can?
