I'll try and answer this.
General Relativity tells us that the universe is the entire 4-D structure of spacetime. The universe doesn't evolve through time since time is just as part of the universe as space. The BB just refers to one section of this 4-D structure, and hence cannot be said to be the origin fo anything.
