Imagine if you will, the Universe is infinite. In the human understanding that there is NO end to it. That it literally would go on forever if you were to continue in any direction for and unending period of time.
If we believe that that is true, then somewhere in that unending universe is another planet, EXACTLY like this one. Where everything is exactly the same EXCEPT the computer screen you reading this on... is purple. The whole course of time for that planet, the development of living things, inventions, toys, whatever. Happened exactly as it did on YOUR planet, but that dam screen... is purple.
Somewhere out there. There is a planet where everything happened exactly the same, except one little thing. This could be said for anything and everything, the advertisement on a web page was different, the shoes you wear, one less hair, one more hair.
If you believe in infinity, then you also believe that.
There are large leaps in logic in that post my friend.
First of all, we do not know whether the universe is infinite; since we know that the universe is in fact expanding, chances are rather high that it is NOT infinite.
But lets got along with that anyway, say that we believe that the universe is infinite; there is still no reason for it to be the way you say it can be unless you count parallel universes.
While if the universe as you say is infinite, there is no saying that the infinite number of possibilities have occurred in this way. While there are many planets, many solar system, and many, MANY galaxies, their number is hardly infinite.
If there is not an infinite number of places where the infinite possibilities can occur in the exact same way as here, then there are a just as great chance that there are no other world that is exactly the same as our, as it is that there exist such a world (even with the same color of screens).
Believing that the universe expands infinitely does not mean that you believe that the contents of the universe does.

I think that the universe is always creating new matter. If the universe came from nothing, why would it stop after one explosion of matter?
As the laws of Physics states, Something can not come from Nothing. Not even the universe. As you said yourself, the universe came from an explosion of matter, not an explosion of Nothing.
