Thanks for the ping, Patrick. In any event, we will not be here either to be relieved or disappointed.

Actually looking at it from a closer perspective determining if the universe has cycles of big bang, big crunches can tell us several things about the universe we live in now. The first thing that comes to mind is that if this is a continous cycle then the chances of humans being able to exist without a creator is not as far fetched as could be claimed if the big bang was a singular event. If we are in a continuous cycle in each cycle the laws of nature would be slightly different sooner or later natural laws would occur that make life possible. Thus we emerge during this cycle which is amicable for our survival.
