But couldn't a finite system be configured and reconfigured in such a large number of ways that to all intents and purposes the possibilities are infinite? What if "growth" is about creating better and better knowledge of how to configure the system in more and more valuable ways?

No because there are unbreakable physical limits. You cannot turn a finite system into an infinite amount of resources.
