Also, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing. So, you can't really divorce one from the other. And energy was certainly present at Planck time and was not created AFAIK. I'm not sure about time, but space expanded during the BB, but we don't know what form it may have existed in here prior to Planck time. There are many theories, but little to no empirical evidence, again AFIAIK.
Alex K could no doubt wax eloquent and in detail here. I'm an IT guy. What the hell do I know?
And this would put the events prior to the Planck time as "supernatural" (or outside natural law) since the laws of nature are broken down.
Or, simply subject to a different set of laws of nature. The cold, hard truth is, nobody knows.
