"Pah! Postulate an infinite Universe? Let's postulate an infinite God instead! Universes don't set Rules of Behaviour, Dress Codes, Dietary Rules, and Laws of Sexual Behaviour, or any other useful levers of power."

You still need an ultimate source, Paul. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. Some folks might see an equation between an Infinite Universe and God. That's what I lean towards, anyway.

"Rules of Behavior," etc. are normative in all human societies, so why the tired, marxist phraseology about "useful levers of power"?
