Actually, the big bang theory does not say anything about where it all came from. There is not, currently, an accepted theory that describes this. The big bang theory simply says that, at an earlier time the universe was more dense than it is today.

Furthermore, the "big bounce" scenario you describe does not require matter being created from nothing, at all! I don't know where you'd get this impression. Finally, talking about the expansion of the universe does not require us to know where the matter came from; that is, we do not need to know (as scientists) what happened before time t=0.

What does this mean?

Still, I'm sure your suggestion will be taken on board.
