We consider a spatially homogeneous and isotropic system of Dirac particles coupled to classical gravity. We recover, on the one hand, the dust and radiation dominated closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-times. On the other hand, we find particular solutions where the oscillations of the Dirac spinors prevent the formation of the big bang or big crunch singularity. This is joint work with F. Finster.
