Time is completely relative. It bends with the curvature of space. Space is the absence of matter and is what separates matter from matter and matter from anti-matter. Anti-matter is the opposite of matter and is responsible for anomalies like black holes and is believed to be the center of galaxies. Anti-matter and matter form energy when they combine. So far as we can tell, it looks like a giant flash of light when this occurs.
To answer your question:
When time is removed from the equation, everything comes to a standstill. It would be the same if you took away energy. There would be nothing but stuff standing motionless. When space is removed from the equation, all matter and anti matter are combined and as a result, pure energy is given off as a byproduct. If matter is removed from the picture, the only thing that would be left is anti matter, space and energy. Everything would be dark because there wouldn't be anything to give off light, but there would still be gravitational forces at work.

That's not what Big Bang Theory says.
What it does say is that the universe is the result of what for lack of better terms can be described as a hyperdimensional singularity violently becoming the space-time we know and love today in one big honkin' explosion.
From which came Energy, some of which "cooled" into Matter. As a consequence of the existance of Matter, there was Gravity and Quantum Mechanics. As a consequence of Gravity and Quantum Mechanics, there was Space and Time.
They were never really seperate, Space and Time exist because Matter exists, but this is back in the first fractions of seconds after the big bang. What we know of as Time was a very strange thing then.
Basically I'm trying to say they never were seperate and they exist as a consequence of the others existing. I know Stephen Hawking would attempt to beat me because of this answer and only fail because he's stuck in a wheelchair, but it's the best I got.

Time and space don't exist by themselves.
Matter does. When matter is by itself without
time and space, it lives in a black hole.
All matter consists of energy bits called "quarks."
These quarks have two stages: particle and
quantum. When quarks are in a quantum stage,
they have no time or space. However, two years
ago, some Upton NY scientists proved that quarks
not only exist in a black hole state, but they also
retain their properties.
The Big Bang is no longer a theory.
All creation begins with a genetic explosion that
occurs when quarks collide. Whether or not it's
"big" is relative. The genetic explosion that creates
the tiny flea, is big to the flea.
When quarks explode, they form atoms. As the
spin of the electrons reach the speed of dimension,
the atoms solidify and become matter. As the matter
gels, atoms can't form simultaneously, thus, they
create time and distance.
What fills the distance?
Scientists believe that space is ether.
I believe that space is a form of inert energy that
gets agitated by the spin of creation and thus forms
a condition we call space - or loosely put - if you
could take a quantum trip through the universe,
you would wind up back here.

Luckily for us they come as a package deal as we couldn't exist without all three... those of us with good imaginations might speculate about one without the others but that's all it is: speculation The basic tool of scientists, Mathematics, doesn't say anything about matter without time, or space without matter.

Space-time can not be separated they would go out of existence. Matter is an evolution of space-time and can not exist without it!

You can't really separate them. Like turning a quarter over.. it's still a quarter.... just a different side of it
