It seems to me that when people throw their trust into a matter of faith, then no amount of proof or argument will change their minds.
But unless we're already convinced that the Universe is "open" and will continue to expand forever, a plausible alternative is that the "present" Universe could be the result of the latest "big bang expansion" but there could have been many more previous expansion/collapse/expansion/etc cycles in the "past", and who's to say that hasn't been going on for... fill in your time belief ...ever or a long time.
Could a sceanrio like this bridge the beliefs of the "forever" vs "15(?) billion years" groups?
