Escaped matter is somewhere else: it would do the Bang and expand into the less populated area. All you need is to assume that on a bigger scale the universe is uniform and all the Bangs are just the ripples in it.

Spacetime itself is not limited to slower than light speeds, and the big crunch has nothing to do with gravity. Rogue stars wouldn't escape it.
The universe is not finitely/countably infinite. From the perspective of everything inside it, it is truly infinite. You can't escape something that goes on forever.

If you're saying the universe is infinite in any way, I'm going to need some proof.

Ah but then you'd have to explain how God started, and the problem is that whatever explanation you concoct here might as well be used to explain the very thing you invoked God to explain in the first place
So, after that happens, we're back to the originating questions. From where did sufficient matter originate to go bang? And, how did that bang not violate the laws of motion?
To throw a match on this pile: To me, this seems to be science asserting the existence of God. ;)
