David: "the laws of physics pre-existing the Big Bang"-I suspect that is right. Leastwise, for matter and energy as we find them now, the laws of physics seem to be at least implicit. They go together. Pre-bang perhaps not, or perhaps the laws of physics that apply to that ordering of matter/energy/? are continuous with the laws of physics that apply to the universe we find now, even if we are too dim to make the connection. All I would want to say is that the relationship between the universe and the laws of physics is not arbitrary or casual.-To show you just how naive I am when it comes to the question of big bangs I have to admit to harboring the suspicion that beyond the universe of galaxies expanding from what we call the big bang .. far, far beyond it .. no, still further than that .. there could be other regions just as vast containing 'tons' of matter/energy/? pulsing to its own drummer. Perhaps there is even some manner in which the regions interact. The scale is mind boggling but less troubling to me than imagining the borders of a single universe where space and time begin or end with a bang.
