Two things to point out:
The universe was much less massive than it is now. The currently favored models are inflationary.
In order to describe the first momments of the Big Bang, you are going to need a good theory of quantum realativity. Unfortunately, no one has one.
That actually would have been a really good question for Mr. Seife, "What are the current best theories for reconciling Quantum Mechanics and Relativity? Or what are the prospects of such a theory coming together in the near future?"
