JimJast: Since the Big Bang cosmology requires creation of energy

Noclevername: Well, there's your problem. BB doesn't assume the creation of energy. It just examines the aftereffects of its expansion from a point. Where the energy was before that is unobservable, and therefore not covered by nor relevant to the theory.

dcl: Perhaps "creation" isn't the most appropriate term to use in this context because some see that word as having religious overtones. But the Big Bang theory does seem to start with the assumption that there was a moment about 10 exp -43 seconds after time 0 when there was a huge concentration of energy at that point that was not there at time 0. Could we agree that the energy came into existence at that time without belaboring what we should call the process?
