Kim,
I do not pretend that the notion is of my own invention, does seem like it read it some where before. From the Who: "everything I have done has been done before and every idea in my head someone else has said" I does seem to help with the age problem and if the universe is infinite should we be able to see the edge "background radiation". Erik My recollection of a layman's understanding of inflation is that one of
the possibilities that it implies is that there can be an infinite number of "universes," all presumably a result of multiple singularities. So, congratulations. You and Alan Guth think alike. Maybe.

Except, the phrase "let there be light" came a few "periods of time" after he created Heaven and Earth.
I am found of the idea that what we consider the "universe" is but a small part of the "real" universe. That the singularity referred to in the "Big Bang" has occurred multiple times, our "universe" is simply one of many. And No, I have little science to back that notion, other than it has not been figured out yet.
