If energy can never be created or destroyed (1st law of thermodynamics) then energy is eternal, So if 4 dimensional space emerged at the big bang, how or where did energy reside before this emergence of space and time.
Where did energy reside before the big bang?

I don't think anyone really knows! Its hard to imagine too. My favourite philosophy is that of Lao Tzu and the Tao. A very interesting read.
Recently scientists have managed to create what is thought to be similar to what the very first conditions of the big bang were like by colliding super cold cesium atoms.
Yes its a tough one...lol, I have previously pondered a lot of eastern philosophy and other models of fundamental consciousness non duality and Idealism, though I believe information to be more fundamental and that consciousness is product of information, You could say I'm a Information monist or Idealist, I believe energy arrived through the wormhole or from a divine source of creation.
Sure is a tough 1 ^^ Its perfectly reasonable to believe in divine creation of some kind considering the laws of nature and the virtual worlds we humans have created! Though I just accept that I'll most likely never know the answer myself lol.
Before answering the question about where energy resided before the Big Bang, let us ask ourselves the question - are we able to go back to yesterday? If we are not able to go back to yesterday, then how can we go back to that period of the Big Bang, if ever there was a Big Bang. The Big Bang is a theory but we must not worry about theories. We must worry about reality. What is the reality? That there is energy all around us, that there is energy within us. Even science has studied that every particle of a human being, every cell called a quark, gets transformed into energy waves. Therefore, you and me are nothing but energy. We must contemplate this, that everything in this universe, all the particles of matter are nothing but energy. This contemplation will lead us to enlightenment, realization of the truth.
Also most religions seem to think that existence started with a sound.
