all the energy that is in the universe came from the Big Bang and the universe today is expanding, though a lot slower than before.
How do we know this? Astronomers have been using spectrometers to chart the temperature from the center of the universe onwards. As you may already know, the farther we look into space, the farther back in time we are looking. What we found, astonishingly, is that the temperature of the universe was hotter before and is slowly reducing.
Right now the temperature is 3 Kelvin (-270 degrees Celsius) in deep space (deep space defined as one atom per cubic kilometer). It shows that energy is continually dissipating, leading to the expansion of the universe, which is leading to a slow decrease in temperature. So there is overwhelming evidence stating that all energy in universe came from the Big Bang and is contained.

In the Asian Indian religion's story of creation, the Universe actually goes through a Big Freeze. I believe this is a lot closer to the truth than a Big Bang since the Universe is shaped by powerful electric currents and the magnetic fields they generate. We see the workings of this electric currents and magnetic fields all over the place, from double-helix galaxies (just like our DNA) to filaments and plasma strands.
Like the filament in a light bulb, stars don't produce the energy themselves. A massive electric current flowing through space passes through the Sun, heating it up and creating light. The evidence for this energy is all over the place, but a few things with the Sun that tip us off are:
1. Missing neutrinos
2. Temperature of the halo-like corona is 300 times that of surface
3. Rotates faster at equator, faster on surface
4. Solar wind accelerates upon leaving the Sun
5. Sunspots reveal cooler interior
6. Sunspots travel faster than surrounding surface
7. Sunspot penumbra (interior walls) reveal structured filaments
When all this energy finally balances itself out, there will be no more resistence, and it will be evenly distributed. This will be the Big Freeze. I just wonder how it gets itself separated... Perhaps somebody foresees this event, and prepares their self to recreate life? This is probably why the Gods favor those with the strongest religious sense, who devote themselves wholly to this cause.

Actually pretty cool, at the time of the big bang energy and matter were the same thing, you could not differentiate between the two, and in the fractions of seconds during which the universe expanded enough to allow the two to be different there was more energy than matter, but with even more expansion and cooling it allowed matter to win and outnumber energy.

The big bang started it. Two fusion thingys joined and created a big blast of energy,matter, dust and time.
The explosion sent out expansion of the universe.
Grab my email at badboi_jaguar@msn.com and i will tell u the things that most people in the world don't know about time.

The expansion of the universe is powered by "dark energy". Nobody knows what it is, but it accounts for most of the mass of the universe. It may be a property of space itself.

Our universe first gained its energy from the Big Bang and it has been expanding ever since.
Note: Your question did ask, "How did OUR universe get its energy?"

I'm interested. Email it to me @ rudolph.the.red.nosed.reindeer @gmail.com. Hmm... I can't seem to find an answer...
