Space is very scary, here's why...

Yes, but expanding outwards from what? If things are expanding outwards, then going back through time surely there must be a point where they all meet, what do you see as happening before things started expanding outwards?

On a different note - the theory became known as the "big bang" theory after a comment made by one of its biggest critics.

He (Hoyle) attempted to belittle it (and perhaps even take the piss) by referring to the theory not by any technical name but as the "big bang" theory. It was so catchy it took and as a result he gave a very popular name to the theory he wished to disprove. Or so they story goes...

Saturlight,
most of these items have already been discussed in the "does space ever end" and "what existed before time and space" topics in this forum !
I suggest you re-read those topics (started by yourself, as usual in this forum) :-)

A Mr Planck showed us how to create matter(or energy) from nothing.

It is a matter of balance between matter and anti-matter

He couldn´t tell us why it happened but he told us how it could happen

Until further notice I tend to trust him in this matter
