1. The big bang is not just a "concept", just like the electron is not just a concept. Of course it is a concept, but there is also evidence behind the theory. Likewise, there is evidence for the big bang: it is the cosmic background radiation. Please see What evidence supports the big bang theory
Acc. to VP, "Purusha (spirit) is the first form, of the supreme; next proceeded two other forms, the discrete and indiscrete; and Kála (time) was the last." Pradhana is the indiscrete ocean, I guess, may be the equivalent of the Milky-Ocean or the Primordial Soup. Then, Vishnu disturbed the equilibrium (primal-Soup) into the 24 principles and qualities for the discrete/elemental-forms. VP explains it to be an expanded egg or bubble (before big-bang). After the bang, we have the discrete form of universe with forms (prakriti).

I was just wondering that after each Mahapralaya when the cosmos goes into Dissolution mode then when the next cycle of creation starts..where do we begin? Vedas are Apaurusheya/eternal, hence the process of creation, the duration/order of creation, the means of spiritual progress , the details of materials [herbs, foods, animals, varna] etc. should be valid forever. After every kalpa or 14 manvantras [ a day of Brahma], seems lie the lower 3 lokas, go through accidental dissolution and recreated in next kalpa. After 100 years of Brahma, the whole creation will dissolve subtly into the primal ocean/crude matter. Acc. to VP, many such lives of Brahma are passed. The positions of devas ruling the lokas, planets, natures must be titles, they advance as the time passes, and so all of us. But, the aggregate of dharna-bhuta jnanam (consciousness) will be considered for promotion, than just advancement of one part of material knowledge/science.
