if time was infinite then it must have taken an infinite amount of time for us to reach the present, which is impossible, therefore time is finite.
Infinity doesn't exist. It is only a concept invented my math geeks to act as a default bucket for numerical series. Nothing is infinite. Every sub-atomic particle in the universe is a positive integer - not infinity.
There are two ways of looking at "infinity".
One way is like you suggest - that if something is infinite then the chances of anything randomly happening are infinitely small.
The other is if you begin with a non-random event within infinity then everything related to that event will behave as if the infinity that surrounds it doesn't exist.
