....If these "forces" are eternal, or infinite....
OP, they can be eternal and finite at same time.
Eternity is to Time, as,
Infinite is to Space.

Finite = integrity = Sacred/Divine
Infinite = lack of integrity = lack of Sacred/Divine

Observed Time { occupied space } is associated with sine-wave /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ frequency's we call physical/reality of fermionic matter and bosonic forces.
Geodesic Space { occupied Space } is associated with positive shaped Gravity ( ) and negative shaped Dark Energy )(

i = metaphysical-1 { spirit-1 } spirit-of-intent via access to mind/intellect/concepts ex concept of God, Space, Baseballs, Dogs etc
Mind, via consciousness, has unique ability to conceptualize a finite Uni-V-erse, and then place our self outside of the conceptual Uni-V-erse as if we are a God, external to it, holding the whole finite, Uni-V-erse, in our conceptual hands, as if were some thing{?} called God or Goddess.
