Have you considered the possibility of an 'oscillating' universe? That is, a Big Bang, followed some billions of years later by a Big Crunch, with everything collapsing into a singularity. After an unspecified interval, the singularity expands into a new universe, and so on, ad infinitum.
I'm unaware if the evidence supports such a scenario (I'm not a physicist), but it at the very least, it pretty neatly addresses the problem of whether the universe had a beginning: Our universe may have, but we might conceivably be the latest in an infinitely old string of universeS.
