Yes. The Big Bang would be no more possible than the Christian god, if it were not part of a cycle (Which has no beginning, or end). Discover and Scientific America (among other links) will follow this post when i get home (Hopefully, i may die on the way there in this timeline , and the internet might not work ^_^ One has got to have an open mind to possibility ).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
