Space and energy were what the big bang created, matter evolved later from energy. Matter and energy, as Einstein indicated, different forms of the same thing.
BS, space had to be there before the big bang other wise what was there? Space is nothing but, well, space. Something had to be there in order for the "big bang"(which I also think is BS)to have occurred. As for the matter, that is what the big bang supposedly did and that is what blew up. The matter was, supposedly, condensed into a very small point and then blew up, causing matter to expand outward in all directions through out space. Space had to have been there already.
Your answers are not logical nor do they make sense. Let's just forget it.
