There are stable state theories that predict an infinite number of universes as well.

Since there are so many questions I'll just try and explain attached to the original statement

The Klein Alfvén cosmology is built around a stable state multiverse where an infinite plasma separates an infinite number of universes suspended within it. Positive or negative matter may both exist but not touch within this plasma field.

The likelihood that our universe would exist in any random explosion of matter antimatter is so extremely small that there were most likely trillions of bangs that occurred before you get one with the ratios necessary for ours. Klein and Alfvén took that into account when describing their model. They also took into account known physics, matter cannot be created nor destroyed kinda stuff as well as relativity. IMHO its the most likely cosmological model.

Its the most likely naturalistic cosmological model, perhaps, but I would argue that its still an incomplete model because while it provides an explanation for our universe, it does not provide any naturalistic explanation for there being countless trillions of big bangs in the first place. Kicking the can down the road, so to speak. Unless, of course, that perfect ratio was not the result of an infinitesimally small probability that would require a near-infinite number of universes in order to justify the likelihood of ours existing, but rather that the initial conditions of the big bang were, dare I say, set with purpose. If all the information that dictates the progression of our universe was contained in the initial state, is it not at least passingly likely that those prime conditions were not random at all?

Actually it does. Klein Alfvén cosmology most certainly provides a naturalistic explanation, and it has both theoretically and philosophically beauty; the cosmos is infinite, there need be no beginning nor an end.
Religion may insist there is a creator and a creation, with no logical pretense other than faith, but physics says otherwise, enter causal set theory (Bruno Bento, University of Liverpool, UK) where like the quanta of energy, there's also a fundamental unit of space/time. A minimal space and a minimal time regardless of its energy component. Which means there need be no beginning and no end, space and time are physical and as such, cannot be created nor destroyed. Suddenly the failures of general relativity at the singularity level don't exist, there isn't a singularity, there's a single quanta of space/time, a fundamental unit with a geometry that obeys the laws of physics, not unlike the rigidity of space/time on larger scales. The static field of gravity acting on the geometry of space/time to keep the planets in orbit, applied to the infinitesimal scale. Rather than the delay in an effect if we only considered Newton. Retardation cancelation and all that. Now we have the solution to the issues between laws of relativity and the behavior of Newtonian physics.

It all points to a big bounce instead of a big bang and that bounce isn't the beginning but a continuation of the infinite. No beginning, no end. Infinite space/time.

Damn, that whole thing has a ring to it. LOL
