I am not sure you are 100% serious on this, but the question is
very interesting, so I will make some comments, which might not
been taken 100% seriously.
At first, we might say that any evidence that something is finite
hereby already look like a refutation of comp, and this basically
at the start, by taking seriously the FPI on *all* true sigma_1
sentences (which I recall somehow emulate the universal
dovetailing).
So, the apparent existence of a finite past might be a trouble for
the computationalist hypothesis, below the substitution level, a
first person plural reality should look like a superposition of
more and more ever "possible states", up to the still possible
inflation of "white rabbits".
The concordance model of cosmogony (including gravity waves
influencing the CMB) doesn't imply a finite past - only a finite
past for this universe.
Nice. (Not entirely sure what you mean precisely by "this universe",
though).
