Caused what, the prior to inflation existence of substance/mass/matter or the inflation event of relative space?
I don't know exactly HOW the God created everything, just like you don't. It's all theory.
We know it would have to be simutaniously, the bible accounts for this...
In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)
Some theories are better than others...like one's that use known science and have far greater predictive power + much less special pleading.

Professor Ellen van Wolde, a respected Old Testament scholar and author, claims the first sentence of Genesis "in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth" is not a true translation of the Hebrew.
She said she eventually concluded the Hebrew verb "bara", which is used in the first sentence of the book of Genesis, does not mean "to create" but to "spatially separate".
The first sentence should now read "in the beginning God separated the Heaven and the Earth"
Also the Hebrew word used for God in Gen 1:1 is "Elohim" and that is plural.
Also, are you at all familiar with the Ain Soph Aur and the Tzimtzum of the ancient Judiac creation story?
