I would agree.

The Big Bang is just a theory about what happened at the very beginning of the universe and how it expanded. It's really the Hot Big Bang Theory now. It tells what happened from the moment the universe started, but it can't explain how it started in the first place and that's what other theories like string theory and things with higher dimensions and membranes are about. Those theories don't actually conflict with the Big Bang.
Technically, the universe is still expanding, but that's not really what the Big Bang theory refers to. It's a theory of the beginning. But if you choose to think of it as a theory of an expanding universe (which is really more like a Hubble's Law thing), then yeah, you could make an argument that the Big Bang is still going on.

The expansion is certainly still going on. Scientists seem to think that the universe is somewhere near flat, so that it will keep expanding.
Now, no one can say a BIG BANG happened, because we weren't there. But they have figured out exactly what happened all the way back to about the first one-trillionth of the life of the universe, and at that time, it can be shown that it would be smaller than a fundamental particle, and shown that all 4 fundamental forces were combined into a single force.
Whatever happened before it is too hard to calculate.
Regardless of whether you call it big bang, God, the beginning, or whatever, it is still happening now.

no. It never happened. Even the guy who came up with the big bang theory appologized for coming up with it because of how rediculous it was. He did this because of the complexity of the human eye. No random act could have created something that can take in more images every hundredth of a second than even the best cameras can in 3.

you would frist have to come up with soild proof to say the big bang even happind, wich would be hard sice there is no proof. But then you would have to answer the question of why the unverse go agnist the conservation of angular momentum law sice Venus,Uranus and possibly Plute rotate backwards from the other six planets.

I hear that the Big Bang business is out, and the latest idea has to do with a dozen or so dimensions and parallel universes.

Yes, I think that would be fair. After all, any beings living about a trillion trillion years in the future would view the first few billion years of the universe much the way we do the first second, don't you think?

I believe that the universe is constantly expanding and when and if it comes to a point where it is finished or cannot expand no more the energy will reflect,change direction, and implode upon itself. LOL just kidding.

It's possible, but humans don't know if the universe will continue to expand, eventually stop, or its own gravity will cause it to collapse upon itself. We don't know if the universe has stopped growing or not.

bang is always instataneous not continuous
