First, I don't believe the universe is created at all, nor do I think the idea of nothing existing makes sense. Time is not anything the universe is embedded inside of. It is a derived property of the universe. So in that sense the Universe itself quite timeless. However it is true that within our portion of the universe when we compare slices with different derived times, Positive Mass/Energy is exactly balanced by Negative Gravitational Potential Energy. During the inflationary period Mass/Energy formed in conjunction with the Gravitational Potential Energy produced by the Universe's rapid expansion.

You've tried this before. You suggest no mechanism, you suggest nothing of process, nothing of result. You have a weak analogy at best.
If I see this and am a scientist who accepts the inflationary theory as the beginning of the visible universe, I can assure you others will as well.
I do have to disagree with fourmorebeers though -- everything we have learned about the universe points more and more to the whole thing being little more than an internally computing space, and that everything inside it is neatly computible, if only probablistically due to the effects of quantum physics.
and trout, the universe did not begin with a singularity as previously thought. The big bang singularity has been discounted by the discovery that relativity is incompatible with quantum gravity. The current idea is that the big bang was a sub-planck collapse of vacuum energy from a high energy state to a lower energy state, and the resultant conversion of potential energy manifested as particles and spacetime.

No. Using imaginary numbers is proof of nothing. The universe did not start from nothing. It started from a super massive singularity that contained all the energy in the universe in an area that was essentially infinitely dense.

Probably, but we don't really know. It is hypothesized that the net total of antimatter and matter and of dark enerfy and energy is zero, thus, we are just a temporary something in nothing.

only if there is an infinity of simultaneously occurring alternate realities and yet at the same time nothing currently exists.

No, the universe isn't really a mathematical problem.

zero is theoretical anyways. It's a material placeholder that doesn't really mean anything in the dimension of physics.

No, addition of opposites (not "additive identity") is about opposites, if you start with zero, it is meaningless.
