I believe that the one piece of evidence related to this question is that we cannot reduce anything into nothing. We can smash it, pulverize it, blast it with a laser, and in one form or another that material will still remain in the realm of somethingness.
This evidence suggests that this cosmic space that we occupy has always been here. Not saying it's right or wrong, just saying that this is what the evidence suggests.
That wasn't my post. Also, the Law of Conservation of energy isn't applicable at all levels of reality, or at least I recall Victor Stenger clarifying something like that in his "The Comprehensible Cosmos".
