If the Big Bang is a 'normal' scientific occurrence, why haven't there been any more?

It's possible that there have been an infinite number of them, and that there will be an infinite number more of them. It just takes, from our perspective, an awfully long time for a universe to go from Big Bang to Big Crunch -- assuming that the Oscillating Universe model even holds true, which is still in dispute.

Or that they might be happening all the time, but 'elsewhere' (for example via 'brane collisions' in the 11-dimensional bulk of M-theory).
If a big-bang creates a universe, then a second big-bang will create another universe, and a third, fourth, and so on.
Unfortunately, what with us being in the first universe, we won't get to see any of that.
Mind you, it's worth remembering that this is speculation, not hard science (coz o' that pesky falsifiability bit)!
There have been. Billions upon billions upon billions of them, every second of every day for the last trillion years or so. It's called String Theory. Universes are always being created. It's just that, since we live in THIS universe, we never experience these Big Bangs. Like street construction. it screws up your commute when it's in your town, but when it's on the other side of the world, you never notice it.
Give it time.
For those that accept time as a 'thing'.
If Christ was coming back in his disciples lifetime, as Scripture states, why didn't he and why would you think that means now?
Oh yeah, God is something but time means nothing, I forgot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
