No, actually, a universe that constantly expands, contracts, expands, contracts, etc. is contrary to the laws of physics. I can't remember where I read this, but I think it was "A Brief History of Time". I'm generally sympathetic to the idea that the cosmological argument isn't sound, but bad physics isn't a good way to discuss it.
