  A simple model for a scalar field and gravity admits homogeneous isotropic
cosmological solutions which cross the Big Bang singularity. In the scaling
frame with field dependent effective Planck mass these solutions are regular.
They become singular in the Einstein frame with fixed Planck mass. This field
singularity arises since the field transformation of the metric to the Einstein
frame is singular at the crossing point of a vanishing scalar field. No
physical singularity is present for these solutions. Within general models with
no more than two derivatives we find that the possibility of a crossing of the
"Big Bang singularity" is not generic. It needs a tuning of model parameters.
The present models are not a realistic description of the Universe since they
fail to render acceptable inhomogeneities.
