Why do we always assume we are in the start point of creation? We are not so special or exceptional as a race, we are not that far removed from apes.

The existence of dark energy is a conundrum we need to solve before any of this theory is relevant

Well in the past that would be a combination of hubris and ignorance.
In this day of age, nobody really believes planet Earth is the start of creation aside of course from the diehard creationists.

Sorry, just to clarify, when I say the start point I'm not referring to earth but the whole big bang theory creating everything we know or believe, that it all started by a big bang in this universe we know and we somehow formed within it as opposed to being a by product of something else that was destroyed or passed through a black hole to be reformed and caused the birth of what we now call earth.

According to general relativity, the gravitational forces inside a black hole become so intense that they eventually crush any matter into a point of infinite density.
This would imply that the object is essentially destroyed, or at least its material form is completely obliterated.
So how matter could be reformed does not seem to make much sense considering what a singularity appears to do.
A black hole cosmology (also called Schwarzschild cosmology or black hole cosmological model) is a cosmological model in which the observable universe is the interior of a black hole. Such models were originally proposed by theoretical physicist Raj Pathria,[1] and concurrently by mathematician I. J. Good.

We just don't know yet.
Maybe one day we'll have the tools and technology to figure it all out. But today is not that day.
There could be big bangs happening all over the universe all the time for all we know. We might just be too far away to see them.
And an infinite amount of other possibilities, we'll just have to wait and see.

Its called "Schwarzschild cosmology" or the "black hole cosmological model" and has been about since 1916.
