Also. But, essentially, it is a "tutti frutti" 
universe :-)

According to Carroll and Chen (hep-th/0410270) 
observers in the very far past of our universe 
will also detect an arrow of time, but one that 
will be reversed from ours with respect to
some (completely unobservable) global time 
coordinate throughout the entire spacetime. 
Both sets of observers will think of the others 
as living in their "past". As in other models 
of eternal inflation, the future history of
spacetime takes on a fractal structure of 
ever-increasing volume. A similar structure is 
found in a time-reversed sense in the far past.

(Not to mention Multiverses and Many-Minds!).

A big bang?

"A society which accepts the idea 
that the origin of the cosmos 
could be explained in terms of an explosion, 
reveals more about the society itself, 
than about the universe."
- Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsaecker

A conscious big bang?

"It is absurd to suppose that purpose 
is not present because we do not observe the agent 
deliberating. Art does not deliberate. If the 
ship-building art were in the wood, it would produce 
the same results by nature. If, therefore, purpose 
is present in art, it is present also in nature. 
The best illustration is a doctor doctoring himself: 
nature is like that."
- Aristotle
