The big bang is postulated because everything is moving apart. If you

knew what temperature was "absolute zero" long before they could get 
anywhere close to making it in the lab.

You can have an explosion of an eternally existent cosmic egg without 
creating matter. Indeed, if it's eternally existent, that's precisely the 
point I'm making.
