So I had an idea....(fade in dream sequence)...
Lights come up on a vast, infinite expanse. It has always been exactly as it is...a tidal flow of (something) not unlike an ocean. It is not expanding. It is not contracting. It is not conscious. It simply is, and the energy in this expanse is in constant motion. It always has been. Every once in a while, the random flow of this (something) randomly spawns a singularity, which drops out of the expanse into its own dimension, explodes, and expands until it experiences heat death in that dimension. Other such explosions have occurred infinity backwards in time, and others will occur infinitely forward in time. Each singularity spawns its own, self-contained, "universe" that is no longer related to the expanse, and no longer associated with any other such singularity. Some of these singularities explode and expand in the blink of an eye. Others have properties that tear them apart internally and they never form cohesive structures. Others have properties that cause galaxies, stars, and planets to form. Some have life - some do not. Some have sentient beings - some do not.
...(fade out dream sequence)...
And tell me why such a scenario is not a perfectly reasonably possibility? It does not depend on an infiinite chain of causality, because the expanse is itself infinite and uncaused. It is also not conscious, and the generation of "universes" is a perfectly common event in the "something." That our particular universe is structured/ordered is perfectly reasonable in the context of "an infinity of universes."
Thoughts?
