This belief/viewpoint violates the laws of science, specifically the law of cause and effect. The “Socratic Law of Causality (i.e. the Law of Cause and Effect)" states that everything happens for a reason. The Big Crunch Theory fails to answer how (i.e. what force or power) is the cause of or for the Big Crunch. An eternal Big Crunch is unscientific.
What kept the alleged Big Crunch in motion?

Yes, but you are isolating the [b]Big Bang Theory from the Big Crunch Theory.According to the Theory of the Big Crunch, the Universe will collapse on itself, slowly, but inevitably. This mass of energy will cause another Big Bang, which will birth another universe, then collapse again causing another big crunch, and so on...
I beleive in a Cycle of Birth and Rebirth. Not just because I am Buddhist, but I have beleived this long before. IT was the only thing that made any real sense to me.
If you think of the Universe, Time and Space, as linear, then yes it would be confusing to understand that life emerged from non life. But I think of the Universe, Time and Space, as a circle. No beginning, No End. Just a series of beginnings and endings.
Microscopic life can form into multicellular life...this much is proven.
But that would leave the question..where does microscopic life come from ?
Well, according to Buddhism, our being is composed of the Five Aggregates, one of them being conciousness....in the long run, Life is not that different from non life. Living and Non Living bodies are all composed of the same matter and all contain energy. The difference is Living Beings possess sentience, while others do not.
Anyways, it's a long explanation, and If you would like to hear it, I'd be glad to tell you. I am happy you responded to me with this post, because you actually challenged me, and invited me to challenge you....but when I say challenge, I don't mean as in antagonize or enforce...you stated a fact, and an intelligent conclusion out of your own knowledge (not someone else's) and gave me the way to respond in the same manner. 👆 [/B]
