I'm unaware if the evidence supports such a scenario (I'm not a physicist), but it at the very least, it pretty neatly addresses the problem of whether the universe had a beginning: Our universe may have, but we might conceivably be the latest in an infinitely old string of universeS.

I think the OP's "argument" has been been satisfactorily dealt with at this point, perhaps with a nudge to actually read Hawking's Brioef History of Time before misrepresenting the man's position.
On the Big Crunch; There appears to be too little mass in this Universe to bring that about as Dark Energy (Quantum Fluctuation) dominates the intergalactic void increasing the acceleration of Universal expansion towards heat death.
