I know some of you guys believe in the Big Bang Theory. The theory, however, defies one of the most basic physics principles, the conversation of energy, that energy can not be created nor destroyed.
What started the Big Bang?
It didn't create any energy, it accumulated energy in its core and blew up eventually.

There was no "creation" of the universe. It has always existed and will always exist. However it's form may change wildly. To say there is a beginning or an end is to believe in magic.

where did the energy come from?
The theory of the big bang makes no statement on matter or energy creation, only that the universe was at one point immensley dense and hot and has since expanded and continues to do so at increasing acceleration.

exactly what I was gonna ask next...

The problem I see with this is that it sounds too similar to the "god existed forever, now stop asking questions". No offence mate.

It's less "it existed forever" and more "the concept of time makes less and less sense the further back in time we look in the universe, so we honestly have no idea if the question is correct let alone have an answer"

Matter and energy can only change states from one to the other. you can not erase or create matter or energy from nothing and you can not destroy it into nothing. One will result no matter what you attempt to do. This is pretty basic stuff. Thus, there could not have been a state of the universe where neither matter or energy did not exist.
