We point out that scenarios in which the universe is born from the interior
of a black hole may not posses many of the problems of the Standard Big-Ba
ng (SBB) model. In particular we demonstrate that the horizon problem, flat
ness, and the structure formation problem might be solved naturally, not ne
cessarily requiring a long period of cosmological inflation. The black hole
information loss problem is also discussed. Our conclusions are completely
independent of the details of general models.
