Actually I wanted to add one more tidbit. Some theories say that as the universe expands it will one day retract and possibly return to the single mass where a new big bang will occur and in fact that may be a continuous pattern forever.
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it. (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"
This verse describes this idea and also demonstrates the idea that this is not the only creation of God and in fact there are more and will be more, forever.
Now, I am not using these quotes to prove/disprove the Qur'an or Islam. I could care less what religion, if any you specifically follow. This is simply used to demonstrate that God and Science don't have to be enemies.
EDIT: AGain the word translated above as heavens could also be Universe. Same word in Arabic.
