The Big Bang created space itself. Space would be made of points of matter that each have mass, expanding by momentum into something that does not even contain the concept of space. The mathematical points of space are bits of matter. They are like mathematical points, except, since they are real and solid, they have to be arranged in a balanced pattern. First space was created, then the elements were created from material that created space. In studies of the Big Bang, there is evidence of an inflationary period, when the universe was expanding at a different rate. If space had to be created first, then the elements were created from some of the material that created space, there would be two levels of energy, accounting for an inflationary period. Energy from the initial Bang that created empty space would be lost in a later coagulation of elements. This is an explanation of the inflationary period. The only thing we currently believe to be created was the elements. Why would there be an initial level of energy, then less energy, unless two things were created from the Big Bang, space and the elements?
